One of Jericho's new favorite expressions is "stuck in mud!" He uses it mainly for two purposes, the first is for times when he really doesn't feel like doing something I've asked him to. "Can't do it Mommy! I stuck in mud!" The other occurence is simply when he's playing and happens upon some huge pile of 'mud' in our living room or other strange place and it suddenly sucks him in. "Mommy!! Help! I'm stuck in mud!"
I had have days like that for sure. In fact, one recent morning Jericho awoke and came into my room to ask me to cuddle him on the couch. I prefer it when he comes into my bed and falls back asleep so I was slow to move. His response? "Mommy, you stuck in mud?" Yes baby, Mommy is stuck in the mud and you won't be seeing her escape for another 20 minutes.
Another fun thing he's doing now is turning into "Lion". Lion is fun except he constantly roars at everything and anything. But if Jericho is ever particularly "stuck in mud" I tell him he should turn into Lion. It works 90% of the time.
Kai is developing less fun and more obnoxious habits. His new favorite thing to do is to say no. This is not fun for me nor Jericho. In fact, the other night we had gone grocery shopping and Jericho was dawdling up the stairs. I usually need to close the gate rapidly before Kai decides to throw himself downwards, so I tried to encourage Jer along by telling him that his brother was going to fall if he didn't hurry (I was holding Kai back). Jericho walked up, looked at Kai and proceeded with the following lecture, "Malachi, don't go down stairs. You fall, get big owies!" To this lovely older-brother talk, Kai responded with an emphatic NO and swiped his hand towards Jer. At this, Jericho was quite upset. He said, "You DON'T say NO to MOMMY! Don't say NO to JERICHO EITHER!!" Sigh. Jericho is becoming Mommy #2.
Tonight we had an old friend over for dinner and at one point Jericho was telling Kai not to do something and Kai would say "No!" Then Jericho would tell him "Don't say no Jericho!" Repeat, repeat, repeat.
Does this mean they won't be little buds?

Was the bear in your backyard?? Also, I am sure that your boys will be great friends, I know that Hannah and I fought a lot when we were really young and then grew up a bit and became best of friends while we were both still in elementary school.
