When Big Brother Visits

Amongst the warm and extra humid days here in Florida, we got a visitor. My stepson came down and brought a friend with him. It makes my boys so excited to see their big brother. He was there the day they were born and loves them a lot. Except of course when it comes to going to the beach and looking for girls. Then it gets a little complicated. He wanted to take the boys with him, but I reminded him of the responsibilities of having "little" brothers. They may be 10 but they come with a long list of things they need.

Asked of older son, "What are you going to do when they are hungry? What if they want a drink? What if they get bored? What if they have to pee? What if they get tired? Etc..."

"Ok, mom. I got it."

Besides I was actually a little more apprehensive since they were going to be an hour and half away. I guess I need to be the one to let go, but they are still my babies.
