Sorta S'mores

I am constantly amazed at how different two little boys can be, all the while remaining the best of friends.

What better way to illustrate the differences between these two miracles then by giving an example.

So here, in just two quick photos, I give you Yin and Yang.

On our second night at the cabin, we decided to try (sorta) S'mores with the boys. It was raining. It was cold. So we couldn't go outside. Chocolate would be too messy inside a cabin we don't own. So we decided to let the boys eat, well, just the marshmallows, while we put chocolate on our marshmallows.

This is really the first time the boys have eaten marshmallows. I think at my mother-in-law's house one evening a few months ago, Ray gave them some little ones. But never a big ol' honkin' big marshmallow just to themselves.

The differences between our boys show up all the time, even when they eat marshmallows. Observe for yourself through the photography and descriptions below:

MISTER IMPULSIVE
Here is Elijah. He shoves the whole thing in his mouth and then makes the sign for "please" even before he has attempted to swallow.

MISTER DELIBERATE
And here is Isaac. He holds the marshmallow in one hand. He thinks about it. And then he starts sucking on it but not eating it. We finally had to take the marshmallow from him because it became such a sticky mess.
