Sibling Rivalry and Love...

I never had a sibling, so the sibling dynamic is just so fascinating to me.  Alex has to do whatever his big brother Jack is doing, and vice verse...always.  One minute they are yelling and fighting with each other over toys, then the next minute they are hugging and kissing each other.  At the playground the other day, some kid stole the swing from Jack and he ran over to me crying...so Alex went up to the kid and pushed him...I love that he defended Jack.  Then five minutes later my boys were fighting over a car...ha!!

So, when it is time to walk my mother's dog, Suzy (they named her) they both have to put their own  leash on her and walk her together.  It is such a mess...Jack walking one way and Alex pulling another...poor Suzy!




Two weeks until Jack starts Kindergarten...ahhhh!!!

Oh my gosh! How darn cute is that? Two leashes and that poor dog :) Thanks for sharing, that was too cute!

My girls are 10 years apart and they still fight like they are only 2 years apart!

I totally know what you mean about the sibling dynamic (being an only child myself). I'm always so intrigued about the love/fighting relationship. I see siblings fight and think, "awww isn't that sweet!"

Ha! That's too funny :)

My brother and I had the same relationship growing up. He'd stick up for me to other kids, but was the first to make fun of me. Ah, brothers.
