Brotherly Love


I know it will not always be like this. Every once in a while I see a glimpse of the intense sibling rivalry that will most likely exist when my boys are teenagers. But for now I am enjoying these precious moments, when they say things like...

"I don't want his tongue to explode, he's my best!" - Jack
"I don't want him to be sad, I really love him." - Dom
"Where is he? If he is gone it will just be you and me, and he is my best." - Jack
"Look how adorable he is Mom, just look at him, awww." - Dom
"He is super smart, like a scientist!" - Jack
"Mom, please let him, I don't want him to be sad." - Dom

They hug, they kiss, they snuggle, they smile at each other. If one is tired, the other will volunteer to carry the other. I wish this would last forever.

We had just finished a hike, Jack was too tired to walk. Derek and I said that we were leaving. Dominick risked being left and went back to carry his brother. He carried him about 50 yards, all the way to the car.
