The Truth Behind A Picture

Yesterday after Tiny Tykes Tumbling I posted this picture on my facebook page....

I was so excited when I was downloading my pictures from my camera to get such a cute picture of these two boys.  For those of you who don't know us personally, this is Bobby and his classmate Sonny.  Bobby and Sonny started school together at age 3 and now that they are getting ready to turn 10, they have spent the past 7 years going to school together, going to the same therapies and doctors, and having playdates together, like it or not, for years.  It is hard to get a picture of the two of them in the same frame, let alone looking like they are enjoying each other's company.  Whoo hoo, it looks like a picture of "brotherly" love!!

And now.....for the rest of the story!

Bobby perched himself on this vault and for some reason was enjoying sitting up here, however, most of the time he was facing the other side which curves down.  Sonny saw Bobby sitting up here alone and decided that he wanted to sit up on the vault with Bobby.  Sonny was determined to climb up there beside Bobby but Bobby kept pushing him down before he could get to the top.  So, I had to intervene.  "Bobby, do not push!!  Let Sonny sit beside you!!"

I prompted Bobby to move over to the side and Sonny's WVU student helper helped him get up on the vault beside Bobby.  Then.......Bobby pushed Sonny off to the front, like a sliding board.

Bobby once again was alone on the vault, but not for long.

 Don't they look annoyed with each other!!

Getting ready to push Sonny off again.  This makes Bobby very happy.

 This went on for about 5 minutes, Sonny climbing up and Bobby pushing him down, and then Sonny's helper and I got bored with this whole process.  But pushing Sonny down this "slide" made Bobby giggle.  That loud autism belly laugh giggle.  This giggle is contagious and made Sonny smile too, which led to this beautiful picture.....

It looks like they are just so happy to be together, when in fact they are smiling because they are annoying each other!!  Whatever it is, I love these two boys and LOVE this picture!!!

A couple of more pictures from tumbling....

 Another classmate, Jacob, sitting beside Bobby.  They are waiting their turn to jump on the big trampoline.

Apparently, Bobby is very huggable today!!

This one just cracks me up.
