Divine Intervention

I have twin Sons. Fifteen months old. And busy as badgers.
I enjoy watching them climb up then down then up again. I watch as one of them finds his long lost toy and then the other wishes that he had found the toy and now wants it.
Thing 1 will run away with said toy and Thing 2 will give chase ...lamenting.
Thing 2 will ride the learning toy and Thing 1 will try to either remove Thing 2 or elso also ride the toy. Both Things lament.
Thing1 will climb his chair and Thing 2 will do likewise. Thing 3 (their Mother) gets very concerned with the climbing.
They teater precariously, and fall occasionally. And I wonder...should I be scolding more and encouraging to share? Should I be grapelling more and saving from falls?
If I've learned one thing from God, it's that he leaves us alone to take every fall by ourselves and stays out of our personal disputes with each other and lets us fight through.
Maybe I should be less Godly.
