Our household is filled with peaks and valleys when it comes to the attitude of my children. We've captured a rare moment here where they can be this close to each other without pinching or punching. I have to say, though, that they have been playing quite nicely together. Megan has been showing Jake how to play doggies. They gather up any dog stuffed animal and feed it, put it in it's cage, rock it and punish it for biting. They also gang up on me when we're in the store (or any public place) and feed off of each other's energy. They laugh hysterically when I reprimand them for running around and re-arranging displays. Too bad it would look weird to bring your kids into a store in a straight jacket.
Then, on the flip side, they sure can fight. One morning (just like many other mornings), Megan woke up crabby and told me, "I don't like you, you're mean". Jake decided to defend my honor by replying, "Mommy nice". This banter went back and forth about 5 times and eventually, it came to blows over whether I was mean or nice. It's interesting trying to get out the door in the morning. Not sure how we're gonna handle it when Megan has to be at school by 8am next year.
