"Be a watchman over your brother all the days of his life. Be a friend to your brother and don't allow anyone to come between you. Enjoy the difference in one another – know that you will be different because you have been created that way by God for His divine purpose. You will each have things to learn from the other. Love one another all the days of your lives."

I said that Seth was his brother's keeper, but Nate is a watchman too.
Seth is eating breakfast in nothing more than a pair of underpants. I sent him to his room this morning for being "rude" to Mommy and he was very upset about that. He ended up taking off all his clothes and showed up for breakfast in his altogether*. I insisted on a minimum of underpants at the breakfast table, and so he put some on.
Nate didn't take his hand off his brother the entire time they were eating – through a fruit plate and blueberry muffins his hand was there the entire time, watching.

*At age 4 Seth thinks that a fitting punishment for me when he's mad.
Loved all the posts - especially some of the videos that brought back memories (maybe best laid to rest). Nonetheless, you two are still the sweetie pies of Gamma Rita's heart and hope your birthday blessing will carry you through your life. Lots of hugs and slobbery kisses, Gamma Rita
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful blessing that your Gamma Rita wrote out for you when you were born, Nate and Seth.
ReplyDeleteIt makes me very happy to see that you are watching over and caring for each other every day. I hope that you are watching over and caring for Mommy, too, by doing what she asks you to do.
Sending love to all of you,
