Good brother, good friend

I am learning quite a lot about my children's characters at the moment. Naomi and I were having an altercation about not taking the clothes-pegs into the shower. She started crying so Joshua went and got the lion and cheetah and brought them, saying, "Naomi likes these". I have to admit I was sceptical that it would make any difference - it probably wouldn't have if I had done it! But she took them and stopped crying and I was impressed that Josh knew what her favourite toys were. I told him he was a good brother and a good friend.

Of course, it all went pear shaped in the shower when Naomi accidentally stood on Josh's sore toe, but I figure you have to celebrate the moments when everything is as you would want!
