Bro Hugs

Last week while we were at the beach, Will learned all sorts of new things from his cousins. My nephew is 10 and my niece is 6 and I think Will would have been content just following them around the house the entire week, not even caring if we never went to the pool or ocean. He loves them and wants to be just like the big kids when they are around.
Not 20 minutes after we arrived, Dylan taught Will about bro hugs. Basically you just go in for a hug but instead of squeezing your arms around the other person, it is more of a manly pat pat pat on the back as you hug. Will thought it was hysterical and proceeded to give everyone bro hugs all week long.
When I picked him up at school on Tuesday his teachers told him to say bye to all of his friends. He has made a new friend in his class named Oliver. Oliver came over and he and Will shared a bro hug. Then Will looked at me and said "I show Ahver my bro hug." The teachers cracked up and said that indeed Will had taught everyone how to bro hug that day.


So thank you Dylan for teaching Will how to bro hug. It has given us precious memories that make us smile!

That is precious!!! Glad Will taught everyone the bro hug at school. Even with the age difference, it is so sweet to watch all of them together. Maybe one day....
