These days Erik has a wild imagination. He likes to take us on his ride, meaning his mom and dad, since Elliot "can't talk like him yet." There have been moments in there lately where he is finally figuring out ways to engage his brother in a healthy way that doesn't involve me getting mad. Its all part of his new and improved Erik attitude.
I first saw it happening when we were home all day Monday sick. We had been stuck home all weekend, Erik was having a bad asthma attack so when they went for the linens in the closet, why not. It was easy enough to clean up after their mess. It was insanely adorable though because they were pretending like it was bunk bed.
Its funny though because the more time my kids spend apart the better they get along. Erik didn't go to school until Wednesday, but for some reason on this Friday after each having the morning spent with friends, Erik in school and Elliot in gymnastics they came home and were just so happy together.
It started at the lunch table. They were each taking turns eating their lunch and making silly sounds and face while playing each saying "your turn." Then once their lunch was over it quickly turned into a game of animals which I didn't get a picture of, but was adorable.
Have I mentioned that Erik is obsessed with me taking pictures? My camera was upstairs in the office, he spies this chair in the living and tell me to go get my camera to take pictures. So I did and this is what I got. Love my boys, especially when I can get them together.
Then Erik got the brilliant idea of playing cave on the couch. What better idea than to pile on the pillow and blankets and pretend its a secret cave. I was late putting them down for their naps because they were enjoying themselves so much this afternoon.
The best part is as I type this blog they are still playing this game and singing Halloween songs together. Although they keep handing me a car and asking me to play so I better go before the resort to turning off my computer.
