Brigham giveth and he taketh away

Brigham is a very complex child. There is a little devil and a little angel constantly at war inside of him. The real problem is that you never know at any moment who is going to win.

Tonight was a perfect example. Brigham discovered dome lollipops. He got two of them and gave one to Jacob all on his own. The angel had one.

Well Brigham finished his lollipop a little faster than Jacob (Brigham is a chomper will Jacob is sucker). So, Brigham came over and took Jacob's lollipop. I said, "Brigham! Give that back to Jacob." So he gave Jacob the stick to the lollipop Brigham had just finished and took off with Jacob's lollipop. The devil had regained control.

Yesterday was another funny experience. I took Jacob and Brigham to Jacob's swim lessons. Brigham was very distressed that he couldn't get in the pool. He was walking along the side of the pool until he saw that there was a hot tub. The hot tub was level with the ground and had one of those blue plastic pool covers on it. He went walking for it and I realized that he thought he was going to be able to walk right on the pool cover. I grabbed him just as he was about to step on it.

I had him press down with his hand to show him that the cover was soft and that water would come through if you pressed on it. He thought that was pretty funny so he did it for awhile. I thought that he had figured out that this was not solid ground. I was wrong. Several minutes later he tried to walk on the pool cover again and went right in. This time I didn't catch him until half his body was submerged.
