October 24, 2010Not until today has the thought crossed my mind that maybe Pearl is tired of having a little brother. As Jeff and I were getting dressed for church we heard this smack/thud sort of noise then a blood curling scream from Cole. Seconds later Pearl starts screaming. We run out into the living room as we're throwing our clothes on and find two crying, hysterical kids and one light saber. Cole has a goose ache on his forehead and Pearl is telling us Cole hit her. Uh, yeah right. I take Cole, Jeff takes Pearl and after 10 minutes of hyperventilating we get them calmed down. I'm still not sure exactly what happened.
But that wasn't the only incident today. Pearl must think Cole is big enough now to play with her... or she's trying to get rid of him. I can't tell you how many times we had to tell Pearl to stop hitting her brother, to stay away from his head, to be soft, to be nice, to not put ANYTHING near his face, and to keep the bubbles and water away from his eyes. Poor little guy. I know Pearl loves him but geez, what's next?
Uh.....I hate to be the one to break it to you, but this is what siblings do. FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES!!!!! No one tells you this when you have number two until it's too late.
ReplyDeleteJust found Miles smothering Iris under his huge stuffed horse a few mornings ago. I had been gone 60 seconds to get dressed. Completely freaked me out. That's the first he has ever been aggressive toward her(that I know of)! Let the fun begin...
