Real Brotherhood Begins




Friday night we were going to have a family movie night which Jace was really excited about (because that means he gets to stay up late). But just before we were going to start the movie, we heard a thud and a shrieking Ethan scream from the boys room. When we got to the scene, there was Ethan standing with a small, bloody cut under his eye and nothing around him except for Jace looking awfully guilty and his full sippy cup on the floor. Jace quickly fessed up, admitting that Ethan wanted his sippy cup and so he threw it at his face rather than hand it to him. Of course in an effort to teach him that we do not throw things at our brother, we had to pass on the movie night (which Jace was devastated about, poor kid!). And Ethan was left with a gash on his eye and a bruise the following day.

Not a very exciting or dramatic story (which I am thankful for!) but I had to write it down because I am sure it marks the beginning of many black eyes/bruises/cuts to come as these two boys grow up together. Ahhhhhhhhhh, boys. Fun, fun! I will be sure to take a picture when Jace is on the receiving end of the injury. I don't think it will be much longer!

Just a few photos of E a few days after the incident- and I threw that last one in there because I thought it was so cute. Enjoy!

I'm so impressed that Jace fessed up. What a great kid. Eli lies about everything he does to Isaac which gets him into even more trouble. Like the giant bite mark he left on Isaac's cheek the other day. . .ummm yeah. Who else would have done that?
Geesh, boys. So much fun.
