Chopin-ing With Bryn and Finn<\/strong>
\nFeaturing Bryn and Finn
\nBest Big Bro Ever (Byrn) and Best Little Bro Ever (Finn)
\nJanuary 11, 2014
\nToronto, Ontario, Canada
\n

<\/div>\n

In between school, creating, exploring, sports, playing video games and music these two spend time perfecting their loving annoyance of each other and their parents, because that is what being part of a family is about. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t
People often refer to them together as Bryn-lee. They actually are each other\u2019s best friends — and rarely ever fight.<\/strong><\/div><\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t
Bryn\u2019s first name is Brynioch (pronounced “Brin-EE-ock”), though some of the older generation prefer to refer to him as Brian or Brandon. He\u2019s politely good natured and doesn\u2019t bother to correct them. <\/strong><\/div><\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t
Finnlee could not be Ferberized<\/a>, because he would work himself into a tizzy and vomit everywhere, and only learned to sleep through the night when he was 6 years old. It\u2019s only his incredibly sunny disposition, and winning smile that has kept him alive.<\/strong><\/div><\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t
They would both prefer to be playing Minecraft<\/a> or Skylanders<\/a> right now.<\/strong><\/div><\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t
Their mom wrote the following awesome poem about them:\n
<\/div>\nPrelude of spilling contents on the floor,\n
<\/div>\nsetting up and rushed planning chatter,\n
<\/div>\nSuddenly the movement is in full swing with\n
<\/div>\nA clatter of blocks smashed down by a dinosaur\n
<\/div>\nand a plastic platoon plummets from paper planes\n
<\/div>\nShooting: Rata-ta-tat…Interwoven with boisterous\n
<\/div>\nYoung laughter and squeals of delight.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n<\/em>Second movement\n
<\/div>\nStructured notes delicate deliberate\n
<\/div>\nWith mustered musicality repeated,\n
<\/div>\npunctuated with pauses\n
<\/div>\nand purposeful pounces of frustration\n
<\/div>\nupon the piano keys with growls of guttural exasperation.\n
<\/div>\nStomping and protesting, contesting and\n
<\/div>\nfinishing with the slamming of a door.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n<\/em>Third movement\n
<\/div>\nVolley of staccato strained soprano argument,\n
<\/div>\nAm not, are too, am not, are too, am not….\n
<\/div>\ninterspersed with high hits of a foam sword, dart guns, or pillows\n
<\/div>\nand reverberant steady rumble of running shoe shod feet\n
<\/div>\nand crumpling bodies play-dying, like elephants in the living room\n
<\/div>\nas the Nanny Dog barks a dissonantly syncopated rhythm.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\nThe cacophony of childhood shakes the foundation\n
<\/div>\nin seemingly never-ending rounds and recitations.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\nMuch later, as the house settles into regular serene quiet\n
<\/div>\nOf empty sunlit afternoons, the spirit of the Concert of Children\n
<\/div>\nwill be reminisced fondly and sentimentally missed.<\/em>\n<\/strong><\/div><\/div>\n

They are among very few people who are in Miguelito’s Little Green Car more than once. They really are that awesome!\n
