I have been very lucky. Up until yesterday, the boys have had an idyllic life together as siblings. I won't pretend that they never fight (they do) or hit (usually Dorian does) or get annoyed with each other (witness their behavior as they share a couch that should hold 6 of them). But overall, I am much more likely to witness loving, happy, friendly scenes.
And then, it was yesterday. After a bath time ruckus that we will not be getting Jeremy started on, Sebastian came out of the bathroom declaring that he wished Dorian were not alive and that I should have only had him.
I will, of course, be taking this announcement with a grain of salt as this is the child who repeatedly asks for another brother and a few sisters. I can't say it wasn't sad to hear. But I also can't say that I, as an older sister, didn't wish the same thing on occasion. (Sorry, Jack.)
there'll be days like this
the children are short, the days are long

well now it's only a matter of time before they're hitting each other with wiffle-ball bats and pushing each other down the stairs (if you had stairs).
Ahhh, memories.
