The moment Kid comes home from school, I get a gigantic smile, a big ole bony hug, and at most one sentence about how his day went. From there he is very eager for down time. I'm guessing after learning and being social all day, he needs the peace. It can be difficult for Everett as he is usually quite excited to see his brother, but a nice little snack can lure him away.

In the past few days, I have been bringing the babies in to do some down time with him. They appreciate the silence as well. Kid usually involves them somehow.

I caught an impromptu kiss for both boys. He loves on them so sweetly.

They just lay and watch him. They wait for him to talk to them, or acknowledge them, then reward him with a giant smile and cackle.

It's a special time for the three of them and it's a special time for Ev and I as it means some sort of tasty treat for the both of us. I would say that's a win/win.
