In the Brotherhood

Starting to see the boys playing together and loving on each other - woohoo.  Of course, the hugs only come in between Graham chasing after Conner while he's yelling, "mine, mine!".   Most of their day is spent with Graham chasing Conner.   Shouldn't it be the other way around?   I'm beginning to learn not to question these things.   The best time for both of them is their bath time.  Graham laughs his biggest laughs of the day when Conner pretends to shave his cheeks with bubbles.   Periodically during they day, the two can be found hiding in Graham's closet.  They have the place tricked out with a light, music, and blankets.  Yesterday the bonding came when the two of them discovered a shiny blue bug digging a tunnel.   They were fascinated.   Conner even broke out his magnifying glass.   It was definitely a boy moment.  Next came playing with the puddle that had a tiny worm in it - yuck.  I was holding myself back the whole time trying to think of an excuse to get them out of the puddle without being a stick-in-the-mud mom. Actually, I feel like I spend most of the time feeling that way.  When will I break loose and just have more fun with these guys????
