Being A Little Brother

Christian wants to do everything his older brother and sister do. Everything. If they are getting extra salt on their scrambled eggs, he wants extra salt on his food too, even if he's having peanut butter and jelly. If they are screaming, he screams. If they are laughing, he laughs. If Bella and her buddy Ava are getting dressed up, then he has to get dressed up too! Of course, Bella and Ava were more than happy to oblige. The three beautiful princesses (Bella with her "make-up"):


The kids, specifically Benjamin and Bella, have been fighting a lot lately. It's mostly a lot of "I had that first!" "No you didn't!" "Give it back!" which quickly turns into hitting and screaming and lots and lots of crying. It's been really draining and frustrating. So I love those moments when they play happily together and I come down to find them all involved in something without hostility, even if it's just seeing if they could all fit into/onto the kitchen together.
