War of the Girls

Yes, I'm sure H.G. Wells passed up this title, but it makes for some splendid homebound narrative. Take today, for instance.

Kayla, our two-year old, has an issue with sharing--she doesn't want to. Every time Madeline started to play with a toy, Kayla would take it from her. This continued on for quite some time since Kayla doesn't understand the diplomacy involved in weaseling a toy from someone else without them catching on. Finally Maddie wasn't going to take it anymore. When Kayla reached for what she had, Maddie let out a yell. Kayla froze in her tracks ... she really wasn't expecting that and she didn't know how to handle it. It was hilarious! Welcome to the fold, little lion cub-ess. Seems like you're learning how to defend your meat.

Later on, Amy put them close to each other in their highchairs and they passed their sippy cups back and forth. They are so cute!
