I rearranged the boys' room today, with the "help" of B2 (to his credit, he did help to the extent his youthful attention span allowed). B2 was thrilled to see me moving their bunk beds and dressers around. For me, the main reason was to clean the various nooks and crannies of their room, a classic, old-school Spring Cleaning kind of operation. But also, I just like to move things around. I figured the way I have it set up, it'll make it work better as the summer months kick in. The boys' room is already the most comfortable room -- warm in winter, cool in summer -- but this'll make it even better.
Speaking of arranging things, this blog amuses me:

B2 amuses me -- he's such a natural lil' athlete. He's quick, strong, nimble, fiercely competitive. He's a true natural, one of those kids that I can just tell will be able to speedily pick up anything he wants to do, and make it look easy. And he's precocious and charismatic, a natural performer. He's going to be total trouble when he's in school. I can already tell. But the smart ones always are.
B1 is sweet, very honorable, protective of his little brother. It was cute -- walking back from school with the boys, a little girl saw B1 and turned around, said "Hi" to him. I asked him who that was, and he told me, and I said "Is she from your class?" and he said "Last year." One of his fangirls! It was cute that she made a point to turn around and say hi to him. He was pretty casual about it.
