Champion of the Voiceless

Little boys can be so funny. Ours can be down-right nutters!

Austin has a funny little habit. He loves to put Paco's scoop of food into his dish... and sit down and share a bit or two with his furry friend. Lately, Paco's been on a 'diet' of sorts and hasn't taken kindly to Austin's company. So instead of sharing, Austin saves a few peices for himself, and plants himself elsewhere to snack. Today that spot was in the middle of thier inflatable jumper. Paco's metal scoop cup clutched in his hands, Austin was having a blast chowing down on his dog food... then Shane walked in the room.

They started wrestling over the cup, yelling at each other and pushing. It took my 100 proof mommy voice to get Shane to let go and come to me for an explaination. I could have talked myself hoarse trying to speak over and under his crying and outrage. Shane was convinced that Austin was commiting the utmost of crimes. Taking Paco's cup and eating his food?!?!?!?!? Shane is as stubborn as both Brett and I combined sometimes. "No Way, Mommy!" is his preferred objection.
There was no peace in this house until Austin surrendered the cup and remaining food to Shane.
What an activist! What a nutter! What a cutie!
