"Baby" Brother

Guess I should have seen it coming but the excitement and build up to Van's first day of kindergarten tomorrow finally caught up to Zak today. He's been taking it all pretty well so far with only an occasional request to "be 5 now" so he too can ride the bus. But today he decided to take the opposite approach and became "Baby" Zak. He wanted everyone to treat him like a baby and he proceeded to act like a baby. Since we just had a visit with some adorable twin babies this weekend, I think babies were on the brain around here in general so hopefully that was part of the issue as well. Van, using big brother smarts, finally broke the spell when he announced that he would be having M&Ms for dessert after he cleaned his plate at dinner. And since Zak was "just a baby and babies can't eat M&Ms", he would miss out on this pleasure. Well, sure enough, Zak decided being a baby was highly overrated, polished off his non baby food dinner and enjoyed his favorite candy snack along side brother love.
Tomorrow is a big day around here for the brothers and mom and dad too. Mommy will most likely be the "cry-baby" tomorrow!
