Big Bully

My boy James is just so absolutely adorable.



Here he is all dressed as a Ninja Turtle - so, so cute...

Here he is in the swing he never wanted to be in when he was an infant...

One day I walked into his room and he had climbed up all on his own - isn't he sweet...


Yes, he is cute and sweet, but he is also the biggest bully in this house! He's nuts. If someone makes him mad, he hits, pinches and pulls hair. HARD! Ask any of us, it hurts! He loves to destroy things his brothers create. He will follow them around and wait until they are vulnerable and grab them from behind in an attempt to wrestle them to the ground. He especially loves to pick on Max. Most evenings as we sit eating at the table, we have to fight James to keep him from leaving his seat, pushing Max out of his chair and climbing up to eat his food! If we stop him, he will climb on the table and scurry as quickly as he can to try to knock Max's food off the table. Max does not pick on James. I think James just wants to be like Max and do everything he does and is a little jealous that Max is bigger than him. Kinda early for sibling rivalry, right?!!? It's a good thing you have patient brothers, James!
