Just a Quick One Tonight...

...I'm on a cleaning/reading frenzy this week (well, hopefully it will last the whole week)...but I wanted to share a quick story about tonight at bedtime.

This photo was actually taken a few days ago. I didn't have my camera at the time, but even if I did, some moments you just don't want to do anything to disturb.

I was getting Michael ready for bed and had both him and Matthew lying side by side. Matthew turned his head and looked at Michael and just started laughing hysterically. It is the most I have ever heard Matthew laugh in his young life...and he was laughing, I think, because he was happy to be next to his brother.

This set Michael off into a giggling fit too. And for several minutes, they lay there looking at each other laughing. Then Michael, always having to up the ante on the situation, proceded to try to brush Matthew's teeth (gums) and shove his own toes up Matthew's nose.

While I am a fan of brotherly antics, I think Matthew is a bit young to process a toddler foot coming at him, so I had to cool it down. And while I have no doubt it will be nearly impossible in the future to keep them from sharing a fair amount of germs, sharing toothbrushes is gross no matter what the age.

But it was fun to see them continuing to enjoy each other's company and grow in their brotherly bond. I look forward to many more of these interactions in the future!
