I Heart Faces/Slice of Life

This week's theme at I Heart Faces is slice of life.  This photo was taken 2 years ago when my boys were playing in the backyard.  Please note Maddox's long sleeves and pants.  He was opposite boy this year.  He would dress in winter clothes during the summer and summer clothes during the winter.  It was a weird faze.  Anyway they were walking around the backyard and I kept telling Maddie to take him across the yard so I could take their picture.  Maddie was talking to JoJo and telling him what to do.  All of the sudden, Maddie turns around and says, "JoJo is listening to me.  He's my friend."  That was one of the cutest moments of parenthood I've ever had.  It was so sweet how Maddie was taking him around gently, and talking to him.  And how he finally decided that JoJo was his friend.
