Leave Him ALONE!

Dear Laney,

That's what I should have called this blog. I thought that "Y'all hush," would be the phrase most likely to come out of my mouth with two small children in the house, but the thing I find myself saying the most is "Leave him alone." You love to poke, prod, hug and squash your brother so much that not an hour goes by when I don't have to say "Leave him alone." I say it so much that it's almost become a new contraction: leav'im'lone. LEAV'IM'LONE!!

One day, your brother will be bigger than you, and will wrestle you to the ground and sit on you. On the outside, I will insist, "Leave her alone!" and will make him stand up. But on the inside, I'll be giggling at the karma.

Love,

Mom
