We were enjoying a lovely dinner at the table. Except for the fly. The offending insect kept buzzing around the table, landing on an arm, a leg, a squealing LittleBrother, a BigBrother who just wanted to be his friend. At one point, FireDad got up and tried to usher the fly out the door.
The fly buzzed in the other direction as flies do.
With hands flailing, we kept shooing the fly.
Eventually, LittleBrother spoke up. In his little voice he made his gun sound. “Shoot, fly! Shoot!” More gun sounds. Shortly thereafter, BigBrother joined in with his gun sounds and they proceeded to shoot the fly together.
I love it when they work together.

I thought so as well but I have a slight bias. It was a rare moment when they both looked at me. Considering printing and sending to all grandparents.
I just found your blog, and I love it! My husband is also a firefighter. It’s alway nice to meet other FF wives. So glad I found your blog!
P.S. Your boys are gorgeous!

Love hearing other families’ little kid-isms. “Shoot, fly!” Precious!
