Brothers

Oliver never wanted a sister.  Too bad kid.  Well I shouldn't say never, if Ruby had been a boy, he probably wouldn't have wanted a brother either.   Child #2 was destined to be disliked by him just for the mere fact that he was no longer getting all of our attention.  Poor Ruby, she never stood a chance.  Sadly she has always LOVED Oliver but the feelings were not returned.  They are on better terms now that Oliver sees that she can play with him sometimes and it's "kind of" fun.  ha, ha.  I'm sure in a few years they will be closer when Ruby is able to follow rules and the like.
But when we found out that child #3 was going to be a boy, Oliver was over joyed!!  Yes, a brother!!  And from then on it's been a whole different story.  Sure August has his moments when Oliver has been annoyed because he is taking up precious parent time, or he is destroying something that has been worked on with determination, but overall Oliver loves him and thinks he is funny.  So I'm a confident that someday, they are going to be the best of friends.  Let's just hope they don't unite in tormenting their sister, that's all we ask!  ha, ha.
Zack captured this moment with the two brothers.  It's pretty cute.

  Seriously, how cute is that?  Pretty sweet.
