Mom was trying to get the boys in to bed last night when I came up to watch them while she did her evening toiletries. Corwin decided to hide under the bed covers, after which I told Charles “No more big brother. Big brother gone.” Charles replied “gone!” but he watched the covers like an eagle until Corwin peeped out. Charles let out a little scream, pointed and said “bih!” which I interpret as “big brother”. I thought it was nice that Charles was willing to play along with the “missing” brother even though he clearly knew Corwin was there.
The screaming Charles encouraged Corwin so we spent a little while of Corwin hiding under the covers with Charles digging after him. Corwin got pretty good at dodging Charles’ excavations but of course the bed’s not that big and Charles would eventually catch him at which point we would have screaming boys. Mom, for some reason, spent an abnormally long time in the bathroom.
