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.”

August 28, 2009 at 3:08 pmAww, how sweet! I don't think either of my boys would describe having a brother as "happy". LOL

August 28, 2009 at 11:07 pmAwww, 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.

August 29, 2009 at 2:46 amI 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. :)

September 3, 2009 at 1:08 pmI 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.

September 4, 2009 at 10:16 amAww 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!

September 16, 2009 at 10:16 pmWow, 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.
