sweet sweet boys

Right now, Elliott is gently petting Mona while Benjamin draws pictures of cats and dogs and eggs and other farm things. Even though Ben can be intense and Elliott can become instantly angry for the most minor thing, I have sweet and gentle boys and I am grateful for that. Last night Benjamin named the top five things he wanted to dream about:
1. Sheep
2. Ladybugs
3. Balloons
4. Caterpillars
5. Bunny rabbits
He closed his eyes and smiled. Of course, we heard him talking to himself later, probably about stressful things, while we heard Elliott kicking the plastic sides of his firetruck bed but eventually they both fell asleep. I love these boys so much.
