Love

I want to freeze time right now.  I am loving the sweet dynamic between our boys at 23 months and 3 1/2.  And I can't even get into the fact that Henny is turning two next month.  The thought of my youngest "baby" growing up any more makes me want to cry.  But back to the brotherly love.  Cohen is an amazing big brother, and Henry follows him around and mimics everything Cohen does.  The sound of the two of them laughing, as their feet run across our hardwood floors together, is the best.  Henry wants to do everything with Cohen.  He still can't say his big brother's name, but he constantly points to Cohen and screams, "Ooohhh!" to get his attention.  

Henry thinks Cohen is hilarious, and he is always asking Cohen to make him laugh (a game Papa taught him).  Cohen jumps around and makes funny faces while Henry squeals and laughs at his brother.

 

Every time Henry sees this picture of Cohen, he laughs out loud!  

I have to admit, Cohen cracks me up too.  He is hilarious.  If he forgets to do something we ask, he usually responds, "Oh, silly me!"  

The other night, we were trying to put the boys to bed, and they were running around together (holding hands), trying to avoid the inevitable.  I hear Cohen say to Henry, "Quick Henry!  Hide under here!"  I love the way they look out for each other.

Henry is really into praying right now.  He wants to say the blessing multiple times during breakfast, lunch and dinner.  At night and before his naps, he squeezes his eyes closed and clasps his hands tightly (fingers intertwined) while we pray.  It is so sweet hearing him go through all of our family members' names.

I could watch these boys play together all day long!  Cohen - "I love my brother."

They are so lucky to have each other.  And we are so lucky they are ours!  When I tell Cohen I love him, he usually replies, "Love you more."  I follow-up with, "I love you most."
