Brotherly Love (and angst)

The boys play very well with each other; however, they totally have moments where they intentionally push each other's buttons.

Liam was playing with the popper, but as soon as Karsten stepped away from the mower, Liam wanted to use both the mower and the popper.  He shrieked if Karsten came near him to try to take either.  I call the shriek his 'I've been wronged' sound. Soon enough he'll learn to talk and say 'no' and we'll know exactly what's going on.


Liam wanted to be right where Karsten was, but Karsten didn't like him so close.  Thankfully he didn't try to run Liam or the lawnmower over, he just said 'Daddy, he's in my waaaaay can you move him'.


Anytime Karsten is laying on the floor, Liam comes over and plops down on top of him.  Since Liam weighs almost 30 lbs, that's quite the plop!


Karsten does awesome helping Liam get his shoes on.  Sometimes they prove to be tricky, but even getting the shoes and asking Liam to sit down saves me a few steps so I am grateful.


Whatever one of them is doing, the other wants to do.  Playing the iPad, sitting next to us at dinner, playing with a toy - you name it, they'll want to do it as soon as their brother tries it.
