Saturday morning brings with it the "guys" cooking breakfast. As for the girls of the family - we don't eat breakfast so it's up to Mike, Lucas and Eli to fend for themselves. It also gives Lucas and Eli a chance to cook - who knew it was a marvelous game?
This a.m. it was pancakes and eggs. The eggs of course had to be cooked hard. How do I know this as a non-participant? It was screamed every 10 seconds while they were cooking. When breakfast was finally on the table, Sydney and I took our coffee and juice and sat down with them. Lucas, very firmly in big brother mode, was helping Eli to pour syrup on his pancakes. This was much appreciated as Eli's version would consist more of sticking the pancake in the syrup bottle and guzzling it straight.
On the 3rd and 4th pancake, Lucas poured syrup for Eli on one pancake and left the other dry so it didn't soak up before Eli was ready to eat it. Eli being firmly in his little brother mode, stacks the dry pancake onto of the syrupy one while Lucas wasn't watching. Eli then asks him for more syrup. Lucas looked at Eli's plate, didn't figure it out too fast and with much shock looks at Eli and says ~ "What! You drink it!" Eli just smiled, Lucas disgustedly put more syrup on and said - NO MORE! ......and so begins our week-end.
I love reading how the brothers interact! Too funny! We are thinking of adopting a sibling group a few years done the road. It is fun to read about the boys and how well they fit into your family. I always enjoy the cute stories and their experiences.
