Little Bully Brother

Jonathan,

Good news! You've learned to crawl the regular way and while for the most part you're still leaping from one place to another you have shown on more than one occasion you can crawl with the best of them... now for the bad news, and this isn't bad news for you, but bad news for your big brother Benjamin. You've become a little bully. Anything poor Benjamin has his hands on you want and you make your way over to him, sometimes slow, sometimes fast, but you always get to him before he realizes what is going on. It doesn't matter what he has in his hands if he is playing with it you want it... and you get it nine out of ten times from him.

Sure once or twice Benjamin has thrown the toy away so that he can run to it, pick it back up, and play with it in a new area, but now that you're mobile it doesn't matter where he goes. No one, and nothing is safe from the crazy little peanut!  Soon you'll be walking and then what? You're going to be a bigger bully to your big brother, but when you get older the two of you have to have each others backs. Mommy and Daddy will probably not have any more children so you two will always have each other. I know you'll be the best of friends because that's how we will raise you two. Right now though Jonathan you will continue stealing toys from your older brother just because you can.

So Jonathan please be nice to your brother. Today he was going through all of the books you two have, and looking to see which one he wanted to look at, and you were playing near the couch. You must have seen him looking at those books out of the corner of your eye because the second he caught your attention you crawled and leaped your way over to him and took the book he was looking at right from his hands and started biting on it. Benjamin got so upset he ran to the couch and laid down! Oh, the pictures included in this letter are before and after photos of your destruction. As you can see your brother originally had those cars and then you took them both with a big smile on your face. As well as the pictures of the books.

You also try to bully Daddy as well! If I'm playing my Xbox and sitting on the floor you think it's fair game to take the controller out of my hands! If we are sitting down near each other the remote for the television is up for grabs too! Once you have your mind set on taking something from one of us you don't stop until you get it. It doesn't matter if along the way you stumble and bump your head. Nothing will stop you from achieveing your task of taking what we have. Benjamin started taking things, and now you're starting to take things. You're lucky I love you you big bully!

Soon To Be Out Numbered,

Dad
