Matthew and Isaac are having a "sleepover" in Melissa's room. When I went to check on them before going to bed myself, I found Isaac snuggled up next to Matthew on the bedding on the floor.
So cute!

Workin' it
Matthew dotes on Isaac. Issac is his brother. It has at least as much to do with being far enough apart in age that Isaac isn't seen as a rival in the same way as Melissa, but in Matthew's mind, it all comes down to both being boys.
Isaac is figuring out how to take advantage of this.
Tonight, Matthew was setting up a game of Starcraft with me, but while he let it start up Isaac came over and banged on it a bunch. When Matthew came back it was restarting and giving him some kind of "Windows is running repair" message. I guess Isaac hit the power button; it glows seductively.
Matthew was pissed.
"Isaac!" he yelled, "I'm going to play a game with Dad! Now I have to wait for this to start up again!"
Isaac came over with a hangdog look and put his arms around Matthew.
Matthew was unable to stay angry at the two year old hugging him. "Isaac, just don't do that again, okay?"
(For the record, when we finally got to play, we won.)

Brothers
Isaac moved into Matthew's room earlier this week.
Matthew initially had quite a few reservations about the transition. Isaac, on the other hand, was thrilled.
Later that night I checked in on them and found them both in the bottom bunk, snuggled up next to each other.
Last night Isaac fell out of the bed and onto a mattress on the floor. He woke up unhurt, but very unhappy. I went into the room a few times to pat his back, but he was having none of that, so I left. Matthew helped settle him down and was so patient with him.
Big brother, little brother, they are good for each other.

Isaac wants to do anything his big brother does. They took turns dumping water on their heads and laughing like loons.
It is good to have an older brother to look after you.
And it is good to have a younger brother who looks up to you.
