Sisterly Love

This pic was taken last week during a
much friendlier encounter with the toybox.


Just so you don't start feeling overly sorry for Daughter #1 after reading the last blog, let me relate an event from Tuesday. Before we go any further, let me preface this story by saying I don't condone, encourage, or support the following behavior. I'm just relating the facts.

I had to check on the laundry and I left the two girls in the toyroom by themselves for no more than 2-3 minutes. I returned to hear a muffled cry and started looking for Daughter #2 thinking that she was playing in the corner. I then realized the pleas for help were coming from the toybox. Apparently the baby had been "getting into" Daughter #1's tea party table (something she takes very seriously) and the only reasonable solution seemed to be to pick the baby up and put her in the toybox and close the lid.

This all followed what appeared to be Daughter #1 putting Daughter #2 in a headlock earlier that day. When I called the eldest by name LOUDLY, she replied, "I'm just hugging her."
