After a few months, he would move to sit next to her whenever he saw her and behave perfectly for her. That left me with the older one and the newborn and a much easier time of it.

They have a way of noticing the blindingly obvious things that we try to ignore because we find them unpleasant. It’s always worth listening to what the little ones say at times like that.

And it never fails that the kids always seem to act up the most the one Sunday my wife is home sick and I've got them by myself. Oh, and my church has a children's sermon where the little ones come up and the minister talks to them about the lessons for the day. Before I had kids I used to laugh at the things other people's kids would occasionally say. Don't get me started on how I've been paid back for that. Well, hopefully, the humility will do me some good. One of the many, many things having children of my own has taught me is more tolerance towards noisy kids in church.
