Brothers Laughing

Ivan and Allen increasinly play with each other. Allen loves to observe Ivan to see what he's doing, how he's moving around. And then he smiles and laughs at him, these deep genuine belly laughs.

Ivan on the other hand, "loves his baby." He always wants to touch him, hold him, etc. He's been like that ever since allens birth . It's endearing.

Now when I put Allen on his jungle gym map or just lay him on the floor, Ivan goes to lay with him and play. Being three years-old, this play is sometimes rougher than it should be, but it's play. Ivan also likes to takes his red chair and sit in it or on the floor next to Allen when
he's in his bouncy chair.

They seem to be developing genuine affection for one another. And they laugh. Allen laughs at Ivan, then Ivan laughs back at Allen. Watching them, makes me laugh.

Or , as Andy remarked yesterday, "it's like watching Beavis and Butthead laugh at each other."
