I was out playing toy soldiers today. When I got home the house was suspiciously quiet. The kind of quiet that every parent dreads. Tracy was sorting recipes. I asked her where the boys were. "upstairs". "What are they doing?". "I'm afraid to find out".

I went up, and saw the light from under Rhys' door. "Stay away from the light" the voice in my head told me. I normally do whatever the voice tells me. Not his time, fortunately. I opened the door, fearing the worst. They boys were sitting side by side, backs against the other door, with a half circle of books all around them, reading.

When they saw me, Owyn jumped up and ran to me "Hi". He gave me a big smile, hug and kiss "Maah". Rhys ran over and hugged both of us. Owyn went back over and sat down to read. I asked Rhys "do you want to stay here and read?". "Yeah, bye". He escorted me to the door and closed it behind me.

As I hit the top of the stairs he poked his head out and said "bye Daddy" and blew me a kiss. I sure do love it when they play nicely together.
