They run from the living room to dining room, round the corner into the kitchen, through the foyer, and back around into the living room. Around and around and around they go. Sometimes they march, pretending it's the walls of Jericho (where they give a mighty shout and everyone falls down, in a very loose interpretation of the story!) :)
Sometimes they race, and they can get fast and competitive.
That's what happened today. Here, in the words of 3 1/2 year-old Obi-1, is what happened next:
"I was racing Obi-2, and he was beating me, and I wanted to beat him. I put my arm out and pushed him, and he fell into the wall, and his head broke open and a lot of his blood came out."
There you have it, folks. The younger brother is wounded now, and we're hoping a butterfly bandage (added after this photo) will be all the neccessary treatment. We've held a lot of ice on his head, and so far the swelling isn't too bad. I'll keep you posted. :)
p.s. yes, I don't post photos very often. However, this is only a partial shot of Obi-2, and I thought it was worthy of sharing an illustration to the story. :)

Poor Obi-2! I commend Obi-1 for his honesty--very impressive! Your little guy has such beautiful eyes! I'd give a mint for those long lashes. I hope his pretty eyes are tear-free and he is back to doing his bum-bum dance soon!
Yes, Obi-1 is a sweet, honest guy most of the time, and he loves his brother a lot. I think it was pretty traumatic to see "a lot of his blood coming out."
Obi-2 seems to be doing quite well! thanks.
