So Happy Together!

I'll be the first to admit that I never envisioned myself with 2 boys.  What would I do with 2 boys?!  Boys are stinky and gross!  I love pink!  So naturally, I always thought I would have tons of sweet little girls running around.  But now that I have Jack and Gavin I could never imagine a life without them.  They are everything to me and I just love them more than words could ever describe.  And it is my deepest desire that they love each other as much as I love them.  I hope they grow up as best friends and always have each other backs. 

Before we had Gavin, Jack was the center of our universe so we were bracing ourselves for the inevitable firestorm of jealous tantrums and outbursts.  But they never came.  Instead, Jack has always been very sweet and kind to Gavin - he showers him with hugs and kisses, he tells him he loves him every day, he lets me know when Gavin is crying and he always greets Gav in his crib in the morning.  And in turn, Gavin thinks that Jack hung the moon.  Jack makes Gavin laugh like nobody else can and sometimes Gav sits and stares at Jack just because.  It is the most heartwarming thing for me to see my boys laughing together and loving each other.  And I often think how blessed I am that my beautiful boys get along so well.

But everyone warned me....just give it a few months....wait until Gavin takes Jack's toys....Jack will get jealous and they will fight.  And I thought it would NEVER happen, not MY BOYS!  Well, I was wrong.  For the past few weeks Jack has been getting very jealous of Gavin and all of a sudden the whining and tantrums we thought were gone are back!  And he no longer likes to share his toys with Gavin.  And when he wants our attention he will tell us to put Gavin down!  It's not horrible yet, and Christian and I are going to do our best to make sure they get along.  And for now the boys really are still cute together.  But I can see glimpses of my future with 2 active, strong willed boys playing tug-o-war with Lightening McQueen.  So before all heck breaks loose, I wanted to document the boys when they were still so happy together.

Here are a few cute videos I took last week.  I have so many more but they are too large to download.  I apologize that the first one is incredibly shaky but I was trying to tape while holding Gavin.  But I still love it!  Enjoy...
