Change isn't always an easy thing to accept, especially when you are two years old. Paige has taken on the role of big sister fairly well, but we've hit a few speed bumps here and there.
Picture This...
Incident #1 : Sleeping baby screams frantically out of the blue. Older sister standing over baby. Mom investigates situation and without a word, big si
ster spills the beans, "I bit her". Teeth marks and red finger on index finger of baby. Mom in shock and doesn't react appropriately with necessary punishment.
Incident #2: Baby relaxing in bouncy chair. Mom leaves room briefly. Relaxed baby no longer relaxed and screaming frantically. Big sister with hands around baby trying to pick up out of bouncy seat. Mom calmly asks big sister to take hands off said baby. Said baby still screaming. Mom notices torn flesh on top of baby's head. When questioned big sister calmly says, "I pinched her." Mom reacts more appropriately and takes big sister to time out to reprimand.
Despite the above mentioned incidents Paige's heart is full of love for Liv. She showers her with hugs, kisses, talks to her and enjoys sharing toys with
her new sister.
And believe it or not... Paige DOES SMILE every now and then! :)
