So this week we had a "situation" at our house.
I find the whole brother dynamics thing interesting- I was always the sister on the outside looking in...
Well for the past few weeks at school Ashton has been teased a little, due to him being vertically challenged.
So, yesterday while exiting the school Taylor noticed Ashton speaking heatedly with another boy. He was already in the car with my Dad driving. Taylor said, "He needs backup" and jumped out of the car much to my Dad's disapproval.
This other student was calling my child names that were very inappropriate. Including "ginger" (stupid me I had no idea that is another term for red-head).
So out jumps Taylor going to his brother's rescue.
This other boy (who is only inches taller than Ash) proceeds to egg on big brother too.
Needless to say, Taylor gave this student a "hard push" as another father grabs them both pulling them into the principals office. My Dad following them lecturing them the whole way to just avoid each other.
My kids were not in any trouble and it was taken care of quickly and painlessly.
But the pride in hearing that my boys who fight until I want to kill the two of them standing up for each other warmed my little Mommy heart.
