If He Survives His Brother

I sure hope that Paxten survies hiss brother. I always wanted an older brother when I was growing up, you know the older sibling to look out for you at school and the one with all the cute friends that you could date. Well now that I have kids of my own and I see how mean an older brother can be, I am thinking it was probably a good thing I didn't have one. Parker can be the best older brother and is protective to a point with both Paxten and Paige. He is also a great big tease and sometimes he is relentless. To a point that I get frustrated with him. He also seems to blame things on the younger two, and usually I am smart enough to know better. Well a few weeks ago after we got home from swim lessons, the kids were playing outside while I made them lunch. It took me all of 10 minutes. Before I knew it Paige came in and said that Parker shot Paxten with his BB gun. It was a good thing Matt happened to be homw right at that moment, because I would have lost it on Parker for shooting my baby!! There was a significant welt on Paxten's belly and it was obvious that he shot him point blank. Parker says that Paxten walked in front of him, but the welt says otherwise. So Parker got his gun taken away for a few years, until he can be better at following the rules and obeying gun saftey. I had no idea he was outside using his gun! That was rule number one, not to use the gun unless a parent it helping you. Rule number two was to wear saftey glasses, which he did not have on. And rule number 3 was to watch out for people around you so you don't hit them. So he disobeyed all of the rules!! The little stinker!! He is lucky that he dad was around and handled the situation or he might have had a welt on his behind!! I am glad that it was just an airsoft BB gun and that it didn't hit him in the face. I sure hope Paxten survives his older brother!!
