Bonding

Williamsburg, 2015

In the last few weeks these guys have been starting to really play with one another (well, Oscar's always been obsessed with Axel, but Axel is now begrudgingly reciprocating the affection. Sometimes.)

I fact, I think this might be the closest they've ever been in a photo, blurry or not.

Axel is generally very patient and tolerant of Ozzy's abuse (hair pulling, etc.), and I keep overhearing him doling out instructions to obtuse games, or saying things like "Be careful, Oscar."

Likewise, Oscar is a big champion for his brother. When Axel was crying the other morning, during a time out, Oscar ran to him saying "Oh no!", and gave him a big kiss on the forehead.

There are still plenty of tears and turf wars but more often than not they seem to be figuring it all out, which is amazing to watch.
