2/16/08 - Sisterly Love

Now that Amanda can sit up on her own and scoots or rolls across the floor, she’s able to be a lot more interactive with Eva.  She gets so enamored watching her big sister, cooing at her and trying to reach for her whenever she walks by.  It’s so adorable to see how Eva talks to Amanda and tries to play with her.  She’ll give her a toy or take one away, try to cover her with blankets or push a toy fruit into her mouth until she gags.  Right now I’m trying to drive home three basic rules: Don’t put anything over sister’s head, in her face, or in her mouth.  I can’t tell you how many times Eva’s been sent into time out for nearly choking or smothering Amanda with toddler kindness.  I now consider it a miracle that any second child survives to their first birthday.

  1. HEHE. I had a friend, who when little took the water hose to her baby sister. Tried to drown the poor thing... You're right. It is amazing that second children make it to their first birthdays! LOL
