Especially Brendan.
He must ask to go to the park at least once a week,
Luckily we have a park in our housing community,
perfectly within walking distance.
I can make my kids day just by saying 5 simple words:
"Let's go to the park!"
While Brendan HATES the swing,
Caleb is still at the age where anything outside is fun.
"And if it means playing with Mommy and big brother, I'm in!"
The slide is of course a big hit with Brendan,
This was first time they have gone down together,
Surprisingly,
Brendan did not protest helping his brother go down the slide,
As long as we are at the park,
he is a perfect angel
"Please don't make me go home!"
The wagon is the easiest way to get to the park.
Brendan likes to be Mommy's-little-helper and pull Caleb in the wagon.
If only he knew it would be easier on Mommy to just ride with brother.
There is nothing better than an afternoon at the park with my boys!
Once we brought the baby home, Brendan was quite intrigued. He held the baby for the first time. Held him, gave him kisses, loved him. When Grammi tried to take the baby away he exclaimed "No! Mine!" and would hold out his arms and say "here" wanting to hold the baby longer. 
The next day, Brendan realized the baby was not going away, Mama & Daddy are keeping this thing "Ee-ya" (that is Caleb in Brendan speak). Brendan would no longer sit with his little brother, in fact if you were to put Caleb in the couch next to Brendan, he would push him away. "No!" The only way to get a picture of both boys together was to have someone hold Caleb and Brendan would (barely) sit on the couch next to his brother.
Mama even went on a craft kick, making cute shirts that said "I am Big" & "I am Small". Still not sitting next to that kid. (although it is difficult to see in the picture with their big cousin Elyse, Brendan is actually pushing Caleb away from him).
