Brotherly Love

At church on Sundays, Sean and Ryan are always very bored and grumpy. If Alex or Andrew so much as brushes the chair they've claimed by accident, it will set them off.

Last Sunday, Andrew returned from catechism class with not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 cookies from his teacher. She wanted each boy to have one. Sean who is usually the angriest, suddenly loved Andrew. Andrew could put his arm around Sean, Sean wanted to share his seat with him. Sean would occasionally peak into the napkin checking that all 4 cookies were still there.

After the mass ended, Andrew handed out the cookies. And as we walked to the car, Sean and Andrew held hands the whole way. Andrew totally delighted in this, "See Mommy, Sean and me love each other."
