Defending Russell

We have always said to Quint "Be gentle, Russell is a baby". This has quelled the violence fairly well, till recently. Quint has begun to be more aggressive with him. His favorite move is to get him around the waist and drag him to the floor.

Tonight he did his favorite move, and Russell crashed to the floor and banged his head on the tile. I was so furious. I am not sure if it was my empathy for helpless Russell who seems to keep crashing despite my best efforts to protect him, or my pre-pregnancy dream of two boys close in age playing together in harmony, flying out the window. Quint was punished and sent to bed early.

Tomorrow is a new day, but momma will be on high alert for any milichious actions between the brothers. It could be a long day in the time out corner:)
