What Goes Around, Comes Around

When my kids were little and my brothers were the "cool uncles" they used to maul them! Like chase them around the house, climb all over them, beat them up, swing on them and beg them to play with them for hours. My brothers were really good sports and would indulge them, taking some pretty good abuse. The kids just loved them so much and were so thrilled to play with someone older and soooo strong.

Well, the tables are turned now and Tyler has become the "cool older cousin" that is taking the beating from the little ones. He too is a really good sport and doesn't mind. Julie's kids were over the other day and pretty soon it was "jump on Tyler day".

Haha, fun! And side note: I can't believe Tyler is old enough to be the big cousin already! I swear just yesterday, he telling me all about velociraptors, or whatever those things are called. ;)
