Obed

As I shared about the "boof" in the yard the other day, Obed likes to do anything and everything his big brothers are doing. In recent days, for example, he has been playing "baby" and "trip" with the big boys. He's been packing his suitcase, full of his juice cup, books and other trip essentials. He also plays crash with the cars, as well as fireman, complete with screeching sirens and fire bells ringing.

A few days back, Ezra and Asher had been disobedient and were sitting on the couch, crying and waiting for the upcoming discussion. Obed, not exactly sure what was going on, looked at his brothers, both crying and in great distress, and figured he should probably become distressed as well. So, in order to sympathize with his two older brothers, he began to scream and cry, picked up the step stool, threw it, and then collapsed into a heap on the floor, weeping. In spite of our best efforts, Vince and I dissolved into hysterical laughter. Not our strongest discipline moment... but it was sure funny!
