It started out with two little boys refusing to eat their bacon and eggs. That refusal turned into defiance, which somehow turned into a hysterically funny food fight. And the laugher coming from those two little boys while throwing food was so genuine and enjoyable that I just sat there with a dumb grin on my face watching the brotherly bond between my sons practically strengthen before my eyes.
Then I realized there was food everywhere. And my kids were throwing it. And watching me watch them in approval (and maybe even take some pictures with my phone). And throwing more food.
And I wondered if in this moment I was the world's coolest mom or the world's most irresponsible mom for letting my kids bond over making a giant mess of our dining room table, floors, and walls.
I didn't have too long to ponder because someone committed the ultimate sin and threw a slice of bacon on the floor. The laughter turned to anguished wails.
And the moment was over.
I think next time I'll find slightly less socially inappropriate and disgusting ways to bond, but I don't regret this morning.
haha! I've sooo been there. I've been known to say, "You can do it this time, but no other time than this."......well, you know how well that worked out. But it is fun to watch them. Or when they are bonding, on the brink of being dangerous, but it's so incredibly amazing to see them interact. Some day, I know when the boyz are in the middle of school, activities, and everything else, I'll look back at these days fondly, and wish they had lasted just a little longer.
