Ah, the joys of having boys. For those of you who know my children well, you know that the bully in their relationship is most often 18-month-old Gordon. We're constantly advising Thomas to stick up for himself-- after all, he is almost four years older and twice as big as his brother! So tonight, our Tom decided to fight back. I was upstairs and heard Gordon's scream of pain and hurried downstairs to find him bleeding from the corner of his eye! I asked Thomas what happened and Thomas said, through tears more dramatic than his victim's, "I knocked him." I hugged them both and cleaned Gordon's cut, which turns out to be fairly small, then got out the camera to capture the apology hug. Gotta love brothers!

Elise,
We saw Marilyn at Matt's wedding luncheon today, and she was telling me and Mike about how much of a bully your little Gordon is. We didn't believe it! Then to read your cute little story.. quite the coincidence! I'm glad Gordon survived the retaliation!

Oh boy!! We have a tender heart older sister and a meaner little sister at our house. I can certainly relate to this story! Gave me a great chuckle!
