I want to lose this battle

Now it’s a battle with him too.

But.. in this battle, I want to lose!

Apps would console the boys whenever I scold them for some misbehaviour. He fails to realize that disciplining a child takes two.. both the parents!

Just when I gave up reprimanding apps, now Champion is doing the same. Fortunately, when Champion consoles his brother, he would include some advise too :)

I scolded and smacked lil’ President for biting of some crayons.. He cried.

Champion comes next to him..

Don’t cry..” *patting him*
Thambhi, don’t cry.” *sayang*
Cannot put in the mouth. Draw on the paper only. Do like this..” *showing him how to draw on the paper*

WOW! I was impressed.

After that, I noticed lil’ President putting a toy car in the mouth. When I got near, he had a little mud-guard in his mouth! I immediately grabbed the little car from his mouth and scolded him.

Again, Champion comes to the scene.

Don’t cry thambhi.” *sayang and pat him*
Cannot put in the mouth..

Although on both occasions did not stop crying, I like the way Champion is taking care of his brother.

Later, I Was carry lil’ President when Champion asked for ‘susu’. He ran to the kitchen and waited for me there.

I jokingly said, “I cannot get up. Thambhi want me to carry him.

He came back from the kitchen and told lil’ President, “Thambhi, you want susu? Come, I carry you..” *gesturing to carry him*

Lil’ President willingly let his brother carry him. He even held on tight with his legs wrapped around Champion’s hips. (I was supporting both of them transparently, though ;)

Champion loves to express his love, but sometimes lil’ President feels it is too much and will push him away. However, this time, lil’ Pesident didn’t mind his brother's sweet gesture..

Boys’ I like the way you both express your love and concern to each other. Keep it up, boys! I’m very proud of both of you.

chitra,
Oooo, thanks for the compliments :)
I hope we are showing him good examples.. ;P

mjey,
Sometimes it can be worrying, but when I try to separate them, Champion feels intimidated on why am I doing that.. So, I try so hard to just watch and make sure they don’t hurt each other and intervene when situation calls me in :)
Yeah, it just makes me happier.. to see my boys loving to each other.
Thanks dear :P

jazzmint,
Yeap.. I really do hope so.
Lil’ President hasn’t expressed his love to his brother in a similar way.. but has always helped him.. like getting his shoes for him or giving Champion’s things that he found lying around the house..

visithra,
Aaah, thanks :)
I love my boys even more everyday when I see sweet little gestures like this :P

gene,
Thanks :)
Yeap, sooo sweet of the brother. I was touched myself!

starry nights,
I was amazed myself! I like the way he protects his brother. Sometimes, he would even come to us and say "Ma, don't beat him.." and I would feel real guilty.
Thanks dear. I really hope we are doing it right.. :)

zara's mama,
Aaah, I see Barney invaded your house too! :P
Yeah.. I was so touched when I saw his gestures towards his brother. Lil' President is getting there.. now and then he would be looking after his brother too (although he does bite him once in a while!) ;P
