Cash Berry Defense Attorney at Law (9-28-11)

When baby Ryan was born we waited for the sibling jealousy to come from Cash and we did just that waited. There was a wonderful selection of books on "How to be a Big Brother" and we had read them from the day we knew I was going to have baby Ryan. It wasn't until later, maybe when he started crawling, walking and touching Cash's things did the jealousy and annoyance begin to show. After a few months of yelling at brother, pushing brother out of the way, and comments that were less than "Bucket Filling" (You have to read the book.) I wondered if Cash would ever like his little brother.

Jump to last Thursday night. It is just the boys and I Sunday through Thursday because Ryan is working the late shift to be home with the boys. Yes, he deserves an award, medal of honor, a nap e.t.c. Here's my thoughts on Stay at Home Moms, you have the hardest job ever and going to work (even as a teacher with 30 students) is not as tough as your job. okay, back to last Thursday. R2 (trying to break away from "Chubs" as a nickname, but don't want to call him baby Ryan either so R2B2 it is) was eating playdo (again) and throwing it on the floor. When I started to scold him Cash jumped in saying "Mom, you don't tell my brother that!"




I was quite surprised and responded, "That's nice of you to defend your brother but eating playdo could make him sick and the floor  messy."

"Well you don't hurt his feelings!" Wow. Cash was worried about his brother's feelings? Maybe he did like his brother after all.
