Yesterday afternoon we had some friends over to play. The 4 older kids seemed very busy for quite awhile (ages 4-6) tethering dog leashes, random pieces of string and various sand toys to our backyard playset.
After awhile I noticed that they were also sneaking into the house to get extra pacifiers from the crib. I asked why they were collecting binkys (usually this mature crowd would shun touching a binky).
The answer?
BAIT.
They were constructing a baby trap. It didn’t work.
Rhett kept his distance while yelling, “I am not a baby!”
I don’t worry about him. He is one tough 2 year old.
Eariler yesterday he had his 4 y/o brother cornered on the couch wailing on him while simutaneously biting the new crocs that he was wearing on his feet.
Just wait until he is as big as his brothers, the power paradigm here is already shifting…
Does anyone need a baby trap?
That is so clever! Ah, sibling rivalry 🙂
Too, too funny on the baby trap! Sounds like Rhett can hold his own.
Too funny! And how smart of both of the boys!

It’s Saturday, my internal grammar check is set to off, apparently
That made me think of the evil kid-snatcher man in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. I’d start to worry if your kids start building a cart that looks like a candy shop.
You’re 2 year old is pretty darn smart, binkys be damned.
Hahahahahah! We have the same dynamic over here… Though Jack is four years younger than Ben, he is physically stronger.
Holly,
The ‘mike’ comment was me–just forgot to sign my husband out of MY mac.
Love the baby trap!!!
Aren’t sibling relationships so dear??? I have to say though that I think those older kids were pretty sophisticated trying to build a baby trap…future engineers???
That’s so cute. In a demented sort of way. 🙂 Kidding…
