3 little girls

N (4 and 3/4s) has moved from being a puppy to a horse. I must say that though the horse is annoying, it is less annoying than the puppy.

********************

K (30 months) has added "big sister" to her identity. She proudly tells us this ALL THE TIME now. Further solidifying this role in her head is the visit from our nanny's daughter with her child (Mary Poppin's Grandson). K loves little baby A. She hugs him and kisses him and helps give him a bottle.


********************

T (14 months) is quite the little bully. It started when she pushed a friend of ours who is K's age. Then she started beating up on her big sister K. She literally walks up and smacks K or tries to push her down. K doesn't retaliate because she knows she's not suppposed to. T has now started taking on N. N diffuses T really well by playing with her. I know that T is doing this to get attention from her sisters, and we are working on showing her how to ask for attention in positive ways. In the meantime, until she clues in, we are calling her trouble-maker T!

N and A would have a blast together. A has been all about horses for...well...at least at full 18 months as near as I can remember at the moment. If she'd part with it, I'd send you her horsey costume for N to play with!

N (my N) likes to pretend he's a "wittle wittle wadybug" (little little ladybug). He does so by putting only his arms in the sleeves of his jammies and letting the feet trail behind him. Then he crawls on all fours. Why trailing jammie legs equals a ladybug impression is beyond us, but he's thoroughly convinced! :-)

kh - Does N know insects have six legs? If so the extra legs to be a ladybird make perfect sense.
