Life is Pain Highness!

Remember that famous line from the princess bride?
Is it love is pain or life is pain?
I can never remember.
Either way, I think love is pain is Liv's new motto with Warner.
Notice her peaceful, little face and how happy and tranquil she is as she smashes her little brother to show him a little sisterly love.
Then,
take a note of his face.
(you may have to double click to get the full effect)
Hmmm. . .

We're trying to figure out how to give love gently around the Brown household.
It's a work in progress.
I'd say so far we've mastered a ratio of about 2 to 20.
That is, for every 20 acts of violence Liv embarks upon Warner,
she gives approximately 2 acts of soft love that don't result in him screaming at the top of his lungs and turning the color of a ripe, red beet.
And, at the request of family members living afar (drum roll please)
some pictures of the wee one in a happy state.
Just so you know that he does actually get a few moments of peace around here.
(pictures were taken while Liv was napping)

I believe the line is "life is pain" My kids watch that show every now and again while we are cruising in our mini-van. I love listening to it! Oh, the joys of transitioning into 2 children. Looks like you are doing a great job, keep your chin up and know it gets better, and harder and easier! Congrats on such a cute baby!

LOVE those pictures! Oh, they are so cute. My favorite one is the one where Liv is squishing Warner with a face of total contentment. There are good times to come, I tell you! I'm glad she loves him so much. He's going to worship her.

I just love all your pics. as for the whole soft love vs. hard love. they will get the hang of it. and little does she know now her brother will one day be bigger than her and pay back comes into play. Nalu is learning that now. lol. but he is just to sweet jess. i want to hang out sometime and just hold him. whenever you want ofcourse. take care.
