Last night I'm reading a book to the boys and Alton got upset because Clive was sitting closer to the book than he was so Alton pushed Clive away.
"Stop it Tivey! Move Tivey! I can't see the book Tivey!"
Clive got his feelings hurt and left the room.
I turned to Alton and I said, "Alton, we need to love our brothers. How do you think that makes Clive feel when you yell at him and push him away?"
He shrugged his shoulders.
I said in a soft whisper,"How does it make you feel that Clive is sad?"
"Happy!" Alton beamed a huge smile from ear to ear.
"Happy? Happy? Why do you feel happy?" I asked in disbelief.
"I get the whole bed to myself."
I had to leave the room to prevent my two year old little Alton see me laughing at him.
Good thing he's cute!!
