Don’t you just love when your kids are getting along?  That happens way too rarely I know, but when it does, it is pure heavenly BLISS! Last night I was in the kitchen doing bills and looked into the living room to see what the boys were up to and found them sitting huddled together in front of the computer playing “Arthur’s Reading Race” on the computer.  No one was pushing, no one was yelling, and no one was saying:  “It’s mine!”  It’s times like those when I look at them and say:  “When is it going to come to a crashing halt?”  “Which one is going to ruin it?”  It’s terrible, I know, I know, but come on–it’s true.  At any rate, I enjoyed it while it lasted which was for quite a while.  There was a great time span of at least an hour where they were just laughing together and playing the game without incident.  I was getting such a kick out of them.  They were talking so kindly to one another and interacting like big boys as they asked each other questions and answered politely. They were playing the game as a team and enjoying each other’s company.   My five year old even said:  “I love you” to the three year old and put his arm around him.  It was enough to bring a tear of joy to  my eye.  If only they could be like that more often.  It almost makes me think world peace is possible–almost.
