Like mother like son?

Today at soccer practice, the boys were scrimmaging and one of the boys got the wind knocked out of him. The boy sat on the sidelines and started to cry, I tried to comfort him since his mom wasn't there. Then, when practice was over and they were doing their huddle, Buddy scooted right up next to him and did this....

Which was the exact same back rub/consoling maneuver I was practicing just minutes before. Hmmmm, gee, I wonder where Buddy learned it? In other news, Buddy has two new friends, one was part of a science experiment and must have put the disguise on to sneak out of more experimentation at the hands of 25  mad scientists parading around as second graders...

The other, hopefully, will be consumed at lunch tomorrow, even if he is disguised as Sponge Bob Square Pants!

It's amazing how a few markers can give you a case of the giggles! So all in all a super fantastic, friendly, day!
