Brothers

Britton and Jordan were close when they were little.  They are only 19 months apart.  Jordan always had to do whatever it was that Britton did.  I had to buy two of everything or Jordan would lay down and throw a serious tantrum if he didn't get to wear the same thing as Britton right down to the shoes and socks.  It was cute that they were always the same until they got a little older, and then they didn't think it was so cute!

Then they went through about a 10 year phase where they didn't like each other as much so it's been nice as of late to see them becoming close again.  Now, they are mostly inseparable again and like doing the same things.  Jordan still likes to do whatever Brit does but now Brit is also interested in what Jordan is doing.  Jordan started wrestling a couple of years ago and so Brit decided that he wants to try it to so they just started up the HS wrestling season together. 

I never thought they'd be close again after all the years of not wanting to be in the same room as each other for the most part.  It's kinda nice to see them like this.  I hope it continues through out their lives.  I used to tell them that they needed to be nice to each other because when all is said and done, all you really have is your family.
