One of the rare moments

Where the boys aren't fighting over toys.



Usually, it goes something like this:


Evan is playing with cars. Grant is playing nearby.

Grant moves within inches of Evan.

Evan feels threatened and takes all of the cars, including the one in Grant's hand.

Grant screams.

I tell Evan (in a calm and loving voice) to give the car back to Grant.

Instead of handing the car to Grant, Evan throws it across the room.

I tell Evan (in an even more calm and loving voice) to stand up, get the car and hand it back nicely to Grant.



Wash, rinse, repeat.
