The T-Rex and the Baby Angel

This is one of my favorite photos of the boys from recent weeks.



It so clearly shows who they both are right now. Aaron - four years old and bursting with as much energy as a t-rex. Adrian - 11 months old, also bursting with energy but somehow his energy is sweet.

I admit that sometimes, when I'm watching them both, I find myself enjoying Adrian's energy more than Aaron's. Adrian is innocent and all the mischief he gets up to is still excusable (and downright cute sometimes). On the other hand, I find myself having so much more expectation of Aaron to know what he should and shouldn't do. Too much expectation perhaps...

He's still only four years old. Its easy for a baby's cuteness to overshadow that of a noisy little boy but there is still plenty of cuteness left in Aaron. In fact, it was Aaron's dinosaur impersonation that made me like this photo.

When I first saw the picture it looked like Adrian had just given Aaron a blow to the gut and was spinning around for another attack.

I see our granddaughters Leya and Elise the same way ... Leya is 3 and VERY energetic, while Elise is happy and very sweet and easy-going (when she's not trying to pull my ears off).

A great and funny picture. I like it, too, Amanda.
