We brought out some of Ayden's old baby toys a few days ago for Ethan to play with. He's getting to that point where he can somewhat grab stuff and is interested in toys. So, I figured there's not really a better time to get them out and let him have a go with them. 
However- I did not expect the reaction I got from Ayden. I brought them down and put them in front of Ethan while Ayden was eating lunch. He instantly stood up and yelled "NOOOOO!" pointed to Ethan and cried, "Mine! My toys!". Mind you- he's not played with these for over a year. They have been sitting in his toy box upstairs singing a lonely song of lonliness.
Ethan was thrilled. Ayden was ticked- at me I assume. And I was thoroughly entertained! He glowered at Ethan all through his lunch, which just minutes before was taking forever to eat and now seemed to have been wolfed down in less than two minutes. Once he was done he looked over at me and said, "done! all done!" I washed his hands and let him go.... and now not to my surprise, he rushed over to Ethan and snatched every last toy up. Ethan just looked up at him and laughed with excitement because he was getting attention from his big brother. I explained to Ayden that those toys are "lil-lul like brother." He quietly repeats me, "lil-lul." I got him to give the toys back and go draw me a picture.

I'm surprised he even remembered those toys. They really look like young, young baby toys.
