Holding Pattern

When you are waiting on a sibling for a little fun and games, you enter a holding pattern. Some of us are more patient than others.

This is about me, isn't it?

This is about me, isn’t it?

Yesterday, we shared with you the results of Landon’s untimely entrance while Frankie was preparing for a nap. Some of you may have thought that Landon left the room until his big brother was ready for games, but you would be wrong.

He's still mad I disturbed him, isn't he?

He’s still mad I disturbed him, isn’t he?

Landon is both more persistent and subtle than you expect. He won’t leave the room, but he is also careful to maintain a respectful distance.

Are you ready to play yet?

Are you ready to play yet?

When all else fails, you might as well make yourself comfortable and wait in a non-pesky way. Though non-pesky might require a little interpretation.

I'll just wait here, Big Bro.

I’ll just wait here, Big Bro.

    The look is unmistakable. No Typhoon as an alternate?

      The Little Prince thinks play is beneath him.

    Mom ‘n Ebby say: Looking at Landon’s tail in the photo says that if Frankie so much as twitches his nose, Landon will immediately spring into action. Hopefully he’ll understand which direction to take.

      And that tail just bobs back and forth the whole time. He can’t keep it still.
