Favorite Things

The boys are showing more and more how much they care about each other. Tyler is becoming the best big brother. The other night Carter was having a tough time. He had purposefully threw dog food all over the floor. He then refused to clean it up. This resulted in time outs. He the continued to have a tantrum. To top it off he had a pretty bad diaper rash so he was crying because his bottom hurt. We brought him upstairs that with the understanding that we would put more medicine on him if he would then come back down and finish cleaning up his mess. Tyler came upstairs and got a hat for Carter "because it would make him feel better". He also gave him hugs and asked Carter many times if he was o.k. Tyler then came downstairs and helped Carter clean up his mess. We actually had to stop Tyler from helping so much so Carter would get to clean up something. The empathy he showed his brother at this young of age was a sight to see. Carter is following in his footsteps. Tyler has had a tough day today with not listening and tantrums. Each time Tyler wold start crying Carter would ask "whats wrong with Tyler?" Even in this tough days of tantrums they love they have for each other makes it better.
