da brudders

In their matching Supa Man shirts! God. So cute. I’m sorry.

People ask me all the time how Owen likes his new little brother. They ask him all the time, too, actually. And the answer is, he likes him just fine. Was pissed at me for about two and a half months, but likes his brother just fine. Gets all up in his face with kisses, keeps his chin free of drool, pushes him in his baby swing and informs me of his slightest peep.

In fact, “Mac’s wakin’ up!” is one of the top five most-heard phrases out of Owen’s mouth, right next to “I’ma roar you!” and “Please can I have some Nemo fruit snacks.”

I’m glad he likes his little brudder. And I keep watching Cormac intently to see how he reacts to this little person who takes care of him, as opposed to us, the two big lumbering people who trade him off like tag team wrestlers. He watches Owen as intently as I watch him. I’m waiting for that bond to form, the one I know is inevitable, when instead of all for one and one for all it becomes Us against Them, the brothers against their clueless parents. Call me crazy (and you should) but I’m looking forward to it, just a tiny bit.

I don’t blame you. It’s fun to watch and it does your heart good to see the love between them. Mine are 17 and 20 now and I still like to listen to them laughing in the living room when my 20 y.o. is home from college.

It will also be great when Cormac looks at Owen like he is the coolest person in the world!

This post gave me chills a bit. I dunno why. Just because the brothers thing gets me, right in the core.

And, because you described very well what goes on around here most days. Henry loves to say, “Yee-yo’s up!”
