More Than Words

Last night as we were putting Tyler to bed, we were all piled up and were singing songs as Carson was laying on Tyler's pillow. Tyler lunged at him before we could react and gave him a non-gentle hug. While Carson did not cry, it startled me enough to snatch him up and make sure he was ok(he was). Tyler just stared and we explained that while Carson loved his hugs, he had to be gentle and we put Carson back down for Tyler to say sorry and to try to give him a softer hug. Instead of actually saying the word "sorry", he leaned down and placed the infamous "Blue Bear" on Carson's chest. Now, in our household it is common knowledge that his his the most cherished possession of Tyler's and there is not 30 minutes in the day that the are apart. This was the sweetest, most generous gesture Tyler has ever displayed. He did however make it clear that he wanted him back asap...but that is not the main focus of the story.
