S turned five! I've been a mama for five whole years. I'm hoping that paycheck starts kicking in soon.
S and A are fantastic brothers to each other. Not perfect, but that's fine. Birthdays are hard because one kid gets a bunch of new toys and the other one doesn't. We have a multi-generational family rule that on the first day, you don't have to share. The rest of the time, we try to make it equitable. Ask the person who the toy belongs to at least. And be willing to trade back for something else if the owner wants to play with it and isn't being a toad about it. Saturday, A was being a toad about it.
S finally got fed up with A running around with all of his new toys and trying to sneak off with them and everything else. He stayed calm though. He asked if maybe we could just take A someplace else for awhile. I asked him where, and he said, "Grandma and Papa's house. To just be a part of their family from now on." At that exact moment, A poked his head around S and practically batted his eyes at me.
I nearly died laughing.
