Quiet Time Musings

A place for my thoughts of the day while the children sleep.

Sibling highs and lows

Today had a definite high and low.

HIGH
Baby Girl set up a "rocket ship" out on our back deck with a big blanket. The kids pulled out a million things from their rooms and were pretending to go up in the rocket. It was SOOOOOOOOOO cute to peek outside and see them snuggled up in the blanket, chattering away, Baby Girl giving instructions on what to do next. They played for ages in the backyard, just running around doing different things. Such good friends.

LOW
A scratching, pinching fight where Baby Boy actually left a claw mark (yes, I promptly trimmed his fingernails) on Baby Girl's bare chest. Lots of screaming from Baby Girl and LOTS of time to himself in his room for Baby Boy. What was it about, who actually knows...Baby Girl getting in Baby Boy's space? Baby Boy taking one of Baby Girl's toys?

Being with these kids is like being on a manic depressive rollercoaster ride, when we're up we're really, really up and when we're down, boy does it ever suck.
