boys

Oldest son is off on a scout campout. It is a nice, if small, group of boys. I think he'll have fun.

Now Second Son is in the alpha position. He likes this. He becomes very talkative when he's the oldest boy around. Anything from wanting to build a particle accelerator in the garage to quotes from The Stinky Cheese Man, which he just discovered. He also just shared this bit of wisdom with me: "Some movies have 'adult situations,' like paying taxes, paying bills...stuff like that. I don't know how those movies make any money."

I don't have any brothers, so I find my boys quite foreign and entertaining.

I love those moments when the child comes out of their shell and you really get to see them close up and personal.

In Germany the oldest left for a week-long school trip, and boy, we sure got a headful of what his brother was thinking while he was gone!
