The Road Less Traveled

My 6 yo loves to teach his younger brother. 

The other day, while playing with Rescue Hero dolls action figures, they had the following conversation:

3 yo:  OK, there are only two guy left.
6 yo:  You mean, two guys left.
3 yo:  Two guy...sssssssss


I have asked the 6 yo where he thinks his brother has learned such sarcasm.  His answer?  "Meeee", accompanied by a long sigh.  At least he is aware that his habits are passed just as easily as his knowledge!

The professor has also been showing his brother how to use the computer paint program.  He began today's lesson with a demonstration of his Larry Boy expertise:





The 3 yo's assignment was to draw the same thing.  Wishing to show originality, however, he chose to practice his new skills by drawing Goliath (the Veggie Tales version):



When the 3 yo appeared to get frustrated while trying to erase something, his mentor said, "It's OK.  I know it can be hard sometimes!  Here, you just go like this..."  He proceeded to gently guide his student through the process.  I was quite proud of him!

Love this! I could have played out in my house! *lol*

I really like what your kids can do on your computer. I don't think we have any cool drawing programs for ours. :'( I might have to look into that.

Cute stories! My daughter used to be like that with her brother, but unfortunately as she's gotten older and her brother more rebellious at times, it's mostly just turned to bossiness. =(

Oh, I just love it! Your story reminds me of my two boys. My older one is always doing the same with his younger brother. They are 5(in a few weeks!) and 3. The 3 year old is very eager to be like big brother and is learning things much faster than big brother did at that age. We are so blessed to be able to witness such things, don't you agree?

It's too funny, MattMann loves to make Bob and Larry on our paint program. That's his "favorite" thing to do on the computer.

So funny! Sounds like my two boys. When Jameson does something Johnston pipes up...he learned that from me!

I love the art!

It is amazing wht siblings can pick up from each other in aggravation and yet sweet when they help each other.
