I'll be the first to admit that this summer hasn't been an easy one for this family. The frustration of not having a schedule has taken it's toll on the girls. They seem to be at each other's throats one minute and then playing sweetly the next. I don't know if this is truly normal sibling behavior because I'm an only child and have no experience in the sibling area. I'm sure that some sibling tension is normal, especially when you have a new baby in the house.
Along with turning 5, K has completely given up naps, making nap time difficult for L. She always wants K to come in there and sleep which really means play as K doesn't even try to sleep but plays and keeps L awake. This is a problem because L still really needs a nap in the afternoon.
Today at nap time, K told L that if she got on her bed she would read her a story. Now, K can't really read but she knows some of her books backwards and forwards. So she sat on L's bed, "read" Madeleine and sang with her, just like a little Mama. All I can say is, "Awww."
