After lunch, the boys had pulled out our metal mixing bowls and a few wooden spoons and were play cooking. I took a picture because they were playing so nicely together. Then, I returned to the kitchen to clean up the lunch mess.
Not two minutes later, I hear "NO, NILE! NO!!!!" followed by loud screaming and crying. I get to the living room just in time to see Nate hit Nile with a wooden spoon, both boys pulling on the largest of the bowls. (I did not take a picture of this...)
Well, I couldn't just let that fly, so two time outs immediately ensued, both boys crying at the injustice of it all. Amazingly enough, I was able to get them both to apologize to each other. As parents of small children know, this sometimes can be the hardest thing of all. Nate has been known to hold off on an apology for 15 minutes, even if it means he has to stay in time out. This time it was quick and painless. And guess what they were doing within 1 minute...?

Yes, you've guessed right. They were playing drums.
