I remember when Nick used to pick flowers for me and I would put them in my hair. When did THAT change? Steveo does it all the time. When will his sweetness fade? It doesn't happen over night. Im holding on tight to what I have left.
Steveo idolizes Nick. Nick gets annoyed by Steveo and I'm left in the middle calmly breaking up fights. It hurts Steveo when Nick ignores him. He tries so hard to impress him. Nick could care less. I know what its like being the younger sibling. Its tough. I remind them often they get one childhood. Don't try to grow up to fast. Recognize what is right in front of you, and celebrate it. No matter what, they will always be brothers and I will not always be around, and the thought of them growing apart shatters my mind. I hope its just a phase Nick is going through, because I could not handle much more attitude from this little man.
If I didn't hold firm in my belief in phases, I would probably pull my hair out!
ReplyDeleteHang in there!
I will never forget how worried Nick was about Steveo when we went to the movies. He held his hand and kept an eye on him. Maybe because you told him I couldn't be trusted but either way it was brotherly love.
ReplyDeleteYes, phases will pass, I keep telling myself.
ReplyDeleteAnd Amy, it must have been the talk before they left, I told Nick not to let Steveo out of his sight or alone with you:)
