The Life and Times of the Watters Family

this morning

They are hilarious– this morning they decided to dress the same (I used to make them dress the same all the time when they were little). Caleb, in particular, was in a silly mood before school (imagine that!). He was speaking in “Spanish” much to the irritation of his big brother. I thought it was pretty darn funny. Caleb’s “Spanish” consisted of counting to ten over and over, saying “Por Favor” after everything and adding “alito” to the other things he said (i.e. Seanalito, Momalito, Dadalito).

Eventually the conversation moved on to a confession (accidental) from Caleb about participating in some kind of chasing game at recess. Sean looks at me with this look that says, “Did you hear that?” (Sean wants to make sure that Caleb gets busted for playing chasing games because Sean has been in BIG trouble a few times for it). Caleb tries to defend himself with “Well it hasn’t become unhandy yet”. At this point Sean is about to burst into laughter– he looks at me, rolls his eyes (in a sweet way) and says to Caleb, “By the way Caleb, you mean out of hand”. Well, maybe you had to be there to truly appreciate the exchange.

One minute they are fighting, the next laughing, and then they are hugging. Through it all they deeply and sincerely love each other and that is why it’s a good cycle– it’s great training for marriage or any good relationship for that matter.
