Charlie (4.5) and I were alone tonight way past bedtime waiting for Craig to bring big brothers Ed and Henry home from a movie party. I asked Charlie if he missed his brothers, and he said “Yeah.”

Me: “I don’t have any brothers. What’s it like?”

Charlie: [Pause.] “It’s like… being really happy.”

Me: “What else is it like?”

Charlie: “That’s it. Just happy.”

    Aww, how sweet! I don't think either of my boys would describe having a brother as "happy". LOL

    Awww, that is just so sweet.

    I was the oldest of ten kids (did you know that!) and I didn't enjoy my brothers much as a kid, but as an adult they've been great to me.

    I have a brother and at 4 yo I doubt I ever would have described it as happy. We fought like cats and dogs.

    That is so ridiculously sweet that he loves his brothers that much. :)

    I don't have any brothers either and that is exactly how I imagined it would be. What a sweetie he is! You must be very proud of him and his very big heart.

    Aww your son is really adorable. I have 2 brothers as well, but i doubt very strongly that at the age of 4 th i would have defined it, as he did. He must be a jewel. It is nice to read about such a happy and loving family.

    God Bless!

    Wow, now I miss my brother.

    Especially, since we're twins, I don't have any sisters and he's married now with a wife he likes better.

    But, there's still a lot of love there and, yeah, Charlie said it best…it's like, being happy…all the time.

    Clearly, you are doing something right. I can see your future now. You’ll be blogging with your grown sons, just as I do with my grown girls. Enjoy the getting there!
