LM and the 7yo have a cute relationship. He acts more like her big brother than her cousin. He teases her about boyfriends and scolds her when she misbehaves. She defers to him, asking his permission for things and doing what he tells her. It's cute.
Yesterday morning they were at the breakfast table together and I overheard the following. It totally cracked me up.
7yo: Can I please be excused? (this said to LM, not me)
LM: Take one more bite. And not a little one either!
7yo: I just did!
LM: Take another one.
7yo: Fine!
LM: Hey, don't eat like a pig!
7yo: Sorry.
LM: Alright, you can be excused now.
7yo: Thanks!
LM: Thank you for listening to me. What's the one rule I have? Respect your..
7yo: You?
LM: your elders.
7yo: Oh, right. Ok.
They leave the table and Little Man heads to the bathroom to brush his teeth. Halfway down the hallway she catches up with him.
LM: Go clear your bowl!
7yo: *giggles* Oh, sorry.
Then she marched back to the table, cleared it and, at his direction, went and brushed her teeth. They kill me!
He'd be such a good big brother!
