Buddies

Several days ago, Soren was moping around because none of his friends could come over to play.  He was feeling quite sorry for himself when the doorbell rang.  When we answered the door, we found Sterling who said, "Can Soren play?"  Soren didn't see much consolation in this arrangement and refused.  Touched that he would do this for his brother, I regretfully informed Sterling that Soren couldn't play, but maybe later.  About 30 seconds later, the doorbell rang again.  "Can Soren play now?"

I sweetened the deal by saying, "Soren, why don't you invite Sterling in to play wii with you?"  That perked him up and the boys made their way downstairs and spent the better part of the day playing one thing or another together. 

That's definitely a great mom moment to see my kids helping and cheering each other.  I'm so glad these two are buddies!  Thanks, Sterling, for being a great brother.  You saved the day!
