there is an eight year difference between austin & carson. and there are times that this gap is just unbridgeable. carson has a sarcastic wit far beyond his years (hmmm...where on EARTH could he have gotten THAT from???). he knows what buttons to push with austin...and he's perfected the art of being the annoying younger brother.
BUT he also looks up to austin (though i have a feeling that someday...maybe not too far off...austin may be the one looking up to CARSON...he's growing SO fast).
carson has conflicting feelings about austin going away to college. on one hand, he's going to miss him tremendously. but on the flip side, it will mean he gets to have his own room for the first time EVER. and i think right now THE JOY of that emotion is winning the battle :)
nonetheless, as the time draws nearer, i'm seeing carson show his appreciation of his big brother a little more externally than he usually does.
the other day austin took him to game stop. before they left, carson ran in his room and made sure that he was wearing a v-neck tee & his glasses...just like austin.
a few nights later, i caught them watching tv...
LIKE THIS:
and it just made my heart smile.
of course, when austin realized i had taken a photo, it made HIS eyes roll.
i love my boys. (i love my girl too). and i'm glad that they love each other.
even if you wouldn't necessarily get that vibe right this moment. lol.
xoxo.
