I love that my two boys love to play together. Yes, they fight all the time. Play tug-of-war over a favorite toy with one screaming at one end and the other trying to explain to the screamer why he can't have it. But they also play together and love it. I love the sound of them laughing together. Trying to out "silly" the other and cracking up in the meantime. Thomas, not always, but often, will try to include his brother in a game that he's playing. A couple of weeks ago, he wanted Benjamin to join him on the hot tub. The idea made me nervous, but I couldn't resist Benjamin's little joyful face of wanting to be a big boy and Thomas desire to teach his little brother some "big boy stuff." They had the best time fighting the bad guys (the tree branches) and playing swords. Their laughter was out of pure joy. Their play was a blessing to my heart. And I got a good workout following Benjamin all around to keep him safe.
Thomas has a few favorite songs he loves to watch on the computer. Benjamin can often be found trying to peek over the desk just enough to see the screen, bouncing along to music. This morning, Thomas grabbed Benjamin by the hand, brought him over and held his hand and they bounced along together.
Thank you Lord for these sweet moments to remember in the tug-of war moments.
