Benjamin totally adores his older brother. Jasper can get him to laugh and smile better than any of the rest of us. Tonight Benjamin was having a rough time through dinner, and Jasper sitting in his high chair was talking to him saying "hey, Benjamin. it's ok Benjamin." Benjamin also always wants to know what his brother is doing, and he never seems to mind when Jasper comes over to him, hugs him and pushes him over onto his back. Jasper will then come running to me and say "Benjamin fell over." He's doing what I've asked him to do ... it's just that Benjamin hasn't fallen over so much as be pushed over. Oh well!
Jasper loves his younger brother. He frequently wants to be holding, hugging, kissing or just being near Benjamin. case in point:
this day Jasper had been sick all morning and understandably sequestered from his brother. after his nap he felt good enough to want to have something to eat. once i gave him a bowl of dry cheerios, he made a bee-line for his brother and sat down so close to him he would not have been able to sit any closer. they're butting up to each other, sitting "cheek to cheek" as my dear Oma used to say.
Benjamin thinks it's funny when Jasper gets so close.
Jasper requested this picture. he's loving hanging out with Benjamin.
Benjamin loves both the piano and guitar. Jasper loves the guitar and loved the piano, but the piano hasn't been of interest to him for a while ... not until Benjamin started playing it. Yes, there are some sharing issues with these toys, but Jasper is learning through this experience. It's good for them both!
It's hard to tell, but both boys have fire trucks on their shirt/onesie. Jasper thought it was awesome! He loves his new shirt. He asks to wear it all the time, and the only time i can legitimately turn him down is when it's dirty. He gets dirty a lot, and sometimes I just slack off on the laundry for a day to get a break. Jasper wanted to be able to see the fire truck on Benjamin's shirt, and he is pretty focused about that type of thing. on top of that I was trying to get a joint photo. Oh well, there is just so much you can ask of a 2-yr-old and a 6-month-old.
