The Annoying Little Brother

Damon has officially reached the status of annoying little brother. He has learned rather quickly how to push Kyler's buttons and push them well.  It amazes me that he has learned, so young to be such a pest and to do it on purpose.  Let me give you a few examples.  He now shhes Kyler.  If Kyler is talking and Damon doesn't want him to talk or if Damon wants to be a brat, he looks at Kyler, puts a finger over his lips, and says, "Shh."  It is actually very funny, but it makes Kyler SO mad!!  He hates it.  The worst part is that Damon does not even need to be provoked; he just does it.

Example #2  The other day Kyler and Damon both had piles of cars that they were playing with separately.  Kenney watched Damon reach over, grab one of Kyler's cars and throw it across the room.  He then braced for a hit by clinching his whole body waiting for retaliation from Kyler.  The little brat knew that he would/could get hit by throwing the car, but he did it anyway.  Luckily Kyler didn't see it so Damon was safe, but I don't know if could really blame Kyler for getting upset when Damon was being such a stinker!!

Example #3  One of Kyler's new things is to build towers with his legos.  He builds the tower and then comes to get Kenney or I to show us.  9 times out of 10, when Kyler leaves the room to get us, Damon breaks the tower for no reason, other than to make Kyler mad.

There are several more examples, but you get the idea.  Kyler is not completely innocent himself, but I just can't believe how soon Damon has caught on to annoying his brother!!  Sometimes they can play very nicely, but they are learning more and more ways to bother one another.

Shh

Damon wants to be just like Kyler.  Every time Kyler gets a cape, Damon has to get one too.

This is just a daily activity at our house.  They take to cushions off the couch at least 3 times a day.

On special occasions, Damon gets to use the Captain America shield!!

This pretty much sums up Damon's little attitude!

When Kyler earns iPod/iPad privileges, they can sometimes sit nicely and play together.  It usually doesn't last long.

This is what I get when I tell them to say, "Cheese."

Sweet Kyler

The other day, Kyler walked in our room, and I had just put on a dress for some reason.  The boys were both in dress up clothes and Kyler looks at me and says, "Mommy, you a princess?"  It was really cute!  I didn't know he even knew what a princess was or that they wore dresses, but it was sweet.

Damon is also learning songs too. He has been singing the song about monkeys swinging in the trees and getting snapped by Mr. Aligator. He will just randomly start singing it, but it is so cute because he doesn't really say any of the words; he just makes sounds and does the actions. You can tell he thinks he is saying the words, but 'snap' is the only words that you can understand.
