My Two Little Brothers {Siblings: May 2015}

Well another month has passed and it's time once again to document the growing relationship between these two little chaps with the Siblings project.

 

Since last month's post, I have noticed a real development in the interaction between my two little boys.  It's mostly due to the fact that F is now able to sit independently.  Just being on the same eye level as his big brother has opened up the opportunity for many more bonding moments between them.

 

Here they both are in M's room, relaxing after M's day at pre-school, with The Jolly Postman book.  M was proudly 'reading' it to F, insisting that he look at each page, and that he listen to every single one of the letters that form part of the book.  He's a bossy little man (think he gets that from me!).

 

Last month I wrote about a kind of hero-worship that I often see in F's face when he watches M, and I promised myself I would try to capture that in an image.  I think I've done it below.  It makes me smile so much to see this. 

Both of these little boys adore having a sibling.  The love between them is unmistakeable.  M is always telling me not to forget F when we're getting ready to leave the house (!) and the grin that spreads over F's face when M comes home from pre-school is utterly heart-warming.

I think their personalities are going to be quite different. M is quite serious, single-minded, and always on the look out for the next thing to do, whereas his little brother is calmer, happier to watch the world go by, and seems to be developing an early sense of humour.  My wish for them is that, despite these differences in character, they are able to remain close, and to learn from each other.
