awwww. i really wish i'd given max a brother. my brother was the only boy also and i think he would have done so much better if there's been more testosterone in the house.
if we're talking verbal wrestling? it never stops here. but we don't see much of that physical, grunting, WWF stuff around here. unless its my husband doing his over-the-top faux wrestling to get a laugh.
Yep...my brothers are 41 and 39 and when we get together it can get quite physical...you might remind SocialButterfly that, even though she's a girl, they will continue to pull her into the "fun"...literally...for years!! Personally...I love a good wrestle or dog pile!!

That doesn't look too different from my boy tackling my girl.

It is one of my great joys as a mother to see my sons getting along as friends.
I'm glad you share that joy in your own household. :)

The love or the wrestling??

I'm with you on that. I could even SMELL the boy stink from here.

yeah - I had NO idea that boys must be physical with each other until I had two of my own.

They are SO physical, aren't those boy people?
Posted by: Green Girl | December 03, 2008 at 02:54 PM
My husband and his brother, aged 44 and 46 respectively, still do this. The only apparent difference is that both their backs tend to go out.

Same-same with the sisters in this house.

Well, now I'm just going to have to go and get pregnant. Can't deprive H of all that brotherly love.
