Boys 2 Men

It's what you do when nobody is watching, or at least when you think nobody is watching.  That is what counts.

The boys get along well, but as Amy says about all our young men, their frontal cortex is still developing.

I witnessed some good stuff this week.

We were doing a night dive, and it was toward the end of the dive, so it was dark down there (pitch black).  Jacob's dive light quits.  Sam swims up alongside him, reaches out and takes Jacob's hand and puts it on his, and they share a light.  It was special to see, and fortunately, I got it on video.  Made momma proud.

On another occasion, the boys were swimming through tight caves, reaching the end and turning around to make sure the other was coming through.

There were a half dozen of these moments that I witnessed this week.  And, of course, this is the way it is supposed to be.  But it is not what one commonly sees in 20-something brothers.  And since our whole Find Penguins venture is about marking the memories for momma, this post is all about warming mamma's heart.

Good boys - proud momma.
