A Perfect Gentleman

Here are some pictures of Mary Alice and Major that were taken this afternoon. These pictures tell a story. Major had just gotten into trouble for hitting his sister. He hit her for absolutely no reason at all. I talked to him about being kind to his sister and questioned him about how boys are supposed to treat ladies. As a part of the learning process, Major was sent to the couch to love on his sister while I made dinner. He had to sit there for several minutes, loving and hugging on his sister. I thought they were so cute. Major did pretty well with the whole idea for a while.

After a few minutes,I went over there to snap a few shots. Major's "loving" soon turned into tackling, the end result being Mary Alice screaming for him to get off of her!!! Major ended up making Mary Alice laugh hysterically, though. He's pretty sweet even if he isn't always a perfect little gentleman. He is so rough and aggressive sometimes! I plan to use this idea again. It worked pretty well, even though he tackled her in the end.

Sad boy...Loving on his sister...

Still loving on sister...

More sweet hugs from Major... (Mary Alice is eating this up!!)

Major's "loving" takes a nasty turn and begins to get a little rough... Mary Alice is still smiling...



Mary Alice is not kissing Major, but is telling him (through clenched jaws) to please stop it!!!




Tackling sister...Now she's laughing too!



He really does love his sister. He just likes to have a little fun with her sometimes.


The kids hugging and loving on each other (post tackle) :)
