But what he does is sit on the floor and reach for me and wiggle his feet like he's SO looking forward to me picking him up.
and once i do, he buries his face in my neck. 
so lovable. 
i love love love my little cuddly boy.

(you gotta make sure you lick the stamps real good on these fake wooden letters before you send them out.)
**especially on this top secret letter i am mailing to the makers of puffs, requesting more flavors.

Eli was horrible to sam all day today.
Poor Sam.
Poor Eli.

I see both sides really.
See, all the toys are basically Eli's.
and now we tell him he has to let his little brother slobber (and I mean SLOBBER.) all over them.
Every time I turned around Eli was swiping a toy from Sam.
Sam screams like someone just cut off his left foot when his toy is taken away.

Today...
me: Eli, what are you doing?
Eli: stealing sammy's puffs off his high chair. Sammy doesn't want em.

Sammy was laying on the kitchen rug and I turned around to grab my ringing phone. When I glanced toward Sam, Eli was preparing to pull him across the kitchen by his feet.
ugh.
Eli knocks Sam over when he's sitting up minding his own business. Then bammmm. on his back.
Poor Sammy. The little brother always gets bullied.

I have no idea how to handle this, just for the record.
None of my discipline tactics are working.
(also, for the record, Eli doesn't pull this shit when Mike's around.)

But Poor Eli, because now he is getting yelled out for playing with his own toys. I see him WANT to share, and he will give Sam a toy...but then watch in disgust as sam gets it all wet in slobber and when Eli can't take it anymore, he snatches it.

Today Eli pushed around a toy grocery cart full of all the toys that sammy "didn't want."
Then there is this...

which sammy doesn't mind, but come ON eli. Really?

when I MAKE eli share...
which involves taking him away from Sam and holding him down so he can't reach sam...
Eli has a full blown temper tantrum, kicking screaming crying on the floor.
Drama.

Again. Poor Sammy.

he's my little innocent sensitive boy.

Bathtime brings all smiles though, every time.

and bathtime is pretty much always together now.

So tell me...
when will these two become friends?
When will Eli stop being a hazard to Sam's health and well being. ?
WHEN?!
