Such handsome little men. They have wonderful parents who take parenting seriously. It's quite uplifting to see all the little Bates grandchildren thrive.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet!
ReplyDeleteAwe such a sweet photo.
ReplyDeleteKade sure looks like his daddy!
ReplyDeleteSo very sweet ❤️
ReplyDeleteSo precious! Soon to be best friends for life.
ReplyDeleteKade doesn't look too happy. Why not let him be jealous, or confused, or acting out? That would be normal for a toddler, much more normal than "adoring."
ReplyDelete🤣 What are you talking about??
DeleteYour projection on your interpretation of this picture is astounding.
DeleteIt's interesting how people can have different perceptions of a photograph. I don't think he looks unhappy at all.
DeleteHe doesn't look UNhappy, he has an expression that could mean a number of things. What his expression does NOT look like is jealousy, confusion, or acting out. I'm sorry that you think those are the default normal emotions for a toddler around a baby. My kids all loved their new baby siblings and wanted to talk to them, hold them, play with them, etc. Toddlers are especially curious about babies, I think because they are smaller than themselves. And by the way, if your young child is acting the way you described, the best thing to do is give them some extra love and one-on-one attention, not just "let" them stay in their jealous, confused, or acting out stage.
DeleteHe looks happy to me!
DeleteI don’t agree with you. Some children love and adore their younger siblings. Just like Bradley and Kaci they love each other to death and it shows even with little Khloe. So yes it can be like that for some children but not for all. Also all children get jealous at one time or another. All children are different.
Delete??? He's looking over at something. Why not let him just be sitting there instead of thinking he is being repressed from being jealous, or confused, or acting out? That would be normal for someone looking at this picture of a toddler, much more normal than overreacting to the word "adoring."
DeleteUsually, young siblings are "best buddies" until they have to share their toys. Then the sibling rivalry revs up.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy this peaceful time now, Tori and Bobby.
Kade looks just like his dad. So very cute. Thanks for sharing this adorable photo.
