Yesterday we went to a neighbor‘s house to learn and play with friends. On the way home Rhett(2) melted. He screamed the entire way home. In the driveway I sped up hoping to end the torture as quickly as possible.
The screaming continued into the house and I made a decision that he was more in need of a nap then food so I just carried him upstairs to his crib. Whew. He settled down immediately once alone in the dark.
I walked down the stairs to find Reid(4) sitting on the bottom step. I sat down beside him and scooped him onto my lap.
Me: Does it bother you when Rhett cries?
Reid: Yes
Me: Me too.
Reid: It seems like a thousand Rhetts crying.
It is funny where empathy is found…
Not missing those days.
He’s right, it does seem like a thousand of them crying once it starts. Smart kid.
I was going to say the exact same thing. When Rhett cries it seems like a thousand children screaming….
Signed,
Your crotchy old neighbor.

Great story. Your boys are lovely.
Awwww…that is just the sweetest thing.
BTHW…One of your Google ads right now is “Your Pretty Mexican Bride is Waiting For You.” teeheehee
Oh, poor kiddies. Hubby has the look of “Make it stop” on his face when J goes into meltdown mode.
The little guy gets it, that’s for sure!
So how long did you sit in the car and let them sleep? They look so sweet.
How very sweet. Yes empathy from your children is pure gold!
I love when my little guy falls asleep in the car, UNTIL we are still up at 11:30pm and he doesn’t even look tired!

Awww…the little ones sure do make a racket don’t they?
Oh, sweet Reid. That funny boy.
How sweet. If Callee cries, Taylor cries too while simultaneously yelling at her to “Please stop” then yelling at me to “Please make her stop”! Too funny.
