Brotherly Love

Gabe nodded off this afternoon, while we were watching tv, even in anticipation of Curious George.

His little arm went limp & I could feel his head lay a little heavier against me.

What I wasn't expecting was for Flynn to walk up & act like she was at the mall approaching a stranger's baby,

"Ohhhhhhh, look how cute he is!"

"Yep, he is cute."

"Awwww, he's so sweet, he's sleeping."

So, I laid him in his bed for his (short) nap. And next it was Flynn's turn to turn-in.

She was looking particularly cute with her thick lashes resting on her cheeks, so I bombarded her with kisses & whispered in her ear that I love her & that she's a good girl (I figured there needs to be times when she doesn't hear, 'no', 'leave him alone', 'that's naughty', etc.).

She must've been feeling the love. She looked at me & said, "Wasn't Bubby so cute when he was sleeping??"

"Yes, he was."

"Oh, he was so sweet."

"He is sweet Flynn. And he loves you so much."
silence.

"Flynn, he loves you, know it?"

"Well, he does love me. But not all the time. He is mean sometimes and scratches me & hurts me."

Glad to know they have a normal, healthy, siblingship.
