January 5

The Little Boys decided they wanted to ride together in the stroller on the way home from school this afternoon. Since I have just a single-rider, this was the result:

At Isaac's urging, Brady plunked down on his lap. The bigger brother wrapped his arms around his little brother and off we went. They sang silly songs and giggled and rubbed their little cheeks together as we strolled along.

As exhausting as it was to push roughly 80 pounds of kid in a run-of-the-mill single stroller, it lightened my heart to see (and hear) them having so much fun together. Relationships --especially the ones between little brothers and littler brothers-- are preciously priceless, even when the volume is a little too high.
