Little Andy boy is having a rough go of things lately. He has just been incredibly intense about things, fairly disrespectful and downright ornery at times. Getting along with Jack is out the window for the time being and his fuse is just really short. What to do to mellow out this little fellow? It will be a matter of prayer and petitioning the Lord for some divine intervention. Perhaps this is an age thing and he will soon start to grow out of it. I can only hope that is the case and that the growing out part will come quickly. I seem to remember Jack going to through a stage similar in nature when he was approaching seven. Things seemed to mellow out for him quite a bit when he turned 8. Maybe a nice heavy bag and some boxing gloves could be useful in helping little boys release a bit of tension and agression. Hmmm, every time they are at each others throats over who knows what I can put them in some boxing gloves and let them have it out. Probably not the best idea actually.
As I think back on my own life I can remember times when I did not get a long with my brothers very well. I can remember that fighting was a regular thing. We were boys and did our best to live worthy of that title. I can say that as boys who grew up battling it out we managed to make it through and we are all quite close today. I don't want to paint the wrong picture. We were not constantly at each others throats nor were there deep rooted hard feelings for one another. We simply had some fights but we also had each others backs.
So my little intense Andy boy. He is such a wonderful boy. Though he has rough moments with Jack he also has very tender moments as well. I love to see them play well together. The day will come when things will calm down and mellow out. That will be wonderful though everyday is filled with wonderful moments now. I had a little cuddle time with Andy and he just let me hold him. He cried some but was able to calm down after a bit. That was nice. Love those kinds of moments. Love my sweet children even when they are not quite so sweet.
