"Don't bite your brother's face" ... And other things I never thought I would say



It was FINALLY nice enough to be outside for an extended period of time earlier this week, so we took a little walk to Starbucks for coffee and treats. We were happily standing in line when Ben leaned down close to Blake, just trying to be a goof and make him laugh. Within a matter of seconds, Blake got all kinds of excited, leaned forward, grabbed Ben's face, pulled him in to attack him with kisses...and chomped down like he could without consequence back in the day when that smile had teeth that weren't fully cut through. (Which to clarify, was pretty much last week).

And there we were. A devastated 4 year old whose feelings and face were equally damaged...


And a 10 month old smiling from ear to ear because he just attacked his brother with "kisses." 


It really was a sad situation. Thankfully, kids are ridiculously resilient so the moment passed pretty quickly. 

The teeth marks did not.
