Yes, that is where I live!
I wish I had a recorder that I carried around with me all day. The funny things they say and do~ I wish I can remember when they will be grown and gone.
I try to write them down when I can but a lot of times that isn't really feasible. I just will treasure them as memories!
We make memories in this house and this is what I want the boys to have is a happy childhood they can look back at and just laugh at the good times and the fun they had growing up together so close in age. It goes by way too fast!
Sometimes when I am about to give them a lecture on their behavior, I stop myself and walk away and chuckle...they don't need a lecture, they are just boys being boys and having fun in a place they feel secure enough that they are allowed to be themselves and "let loose".
Also, that takes some pressure off of me!
Yes, sometimes they do need some correction but when you think back to your childhood, it is the silliness and fun stories you like to share with people~right!
So let them be silly and let them be able to share their stories. If they don't slip up from now and then they won't learn...give em a little rope and you may have to pull it in from time to time but cut em some slack and I am going to try and do the same.
