Yep, it's blurry. But it's also so incredibly rare lately...so I kept it. I don't know if it's their age, the fact that they are brothers, or, I don't know, maybe our parenting sucks, or they aren't disciplined enough, or hey, maybe they are disciplined too much, or maybe they eat too many vegetables, who knows...but what I do know is this; they are most generally found fighting, yelling, chasing, hitting, biting or basically pummeling each other if in fact I am stupid enough to leave them in the same room alone together for longer than 60 seconds. Please mom tell me this is a phase just like teething and potty training...
Peace and war begin at home. If we truly want peace in the world, let us begin by loving one another in our own families. If we want to spread joy, we need for every family to have joy.

It could be a phase, it could be a lifetime. If they can't be nice to each other, isolate them in their rooms. Then they cannot enjoy each other's company, (and you can get a break). Boundaries are learned early. Good luck.
I keep coming back to Ginny's take on children who fight...they are healthy, they are strong, there are so many children who are sick and weak...we are blessed to have these two prize fighters in our lives.
It's only the fact that they are brothers that makes them fight. I don't think its a phase. If it is, my two boys are still going through it & they are 20 & 16. However, when they do get along, they get along beautifully.
I already accussed you of being great parents (before i read this)....I agree with your fam!!!! Every picture tells a story.....don't it???
