With Bee being not so much a baby anymore, the boys have been learning to "work things out"...But of course, their mother guides them in their conflict resolution techniques, right? Absolutely.

The story usually goes like this: Bee bothers Kid. Kid tattles. Mommy tells Kid to use his words with Bee rather than tattling. Kid uses kind words to prohibit Bee from poking, prodding, tickling, annoying, etc. Bee continues. Kid realizes kind words may not be enough this round. Kid tattles (again). Mommy says, "work it out". Kid whacks Bee. Bee giggles. Both brothers move on.

The beauty of boyhood.

LOVE what's going on in this photo...if you only knew!

Bee can often be found faking it. This is his fake "sad heart". Convincing? Barely.

Have a rough and tumble football day!
