Brotherly Love

I laughed as I wrote the title of this post because both boys just got out of timeout for fighting. They love and enjoy eachother one minute and are fighting the next. Pierce does not understand sharing at all and has not liked learning about it, either. I have caught some pretty cute moments between them recently, though, so thought I'd share. I love this one! They are watching cartoons here.


Pierce was trying to figure out what was going on in the dishwasher. Bowden was explaining.

Anxiously waiting for the cookies to be done.

You should have seem them about two seconds before this shot. Pierce got behind Bowden in the chair and planted his feet on B's back and pushed with all his might to get him out. It's funny now, but I can only imagine what these fights will turn into once they get older!!

18. If I play with it long enough, it's mine.
19. If you are playing with something and you put it down, it's mine.
20. If it's broken, it's yours (no wait, all the pieces are mine).
