("R" said the pirate!)
Being an older sister is hard. I get it.
We're reminded on a daily basis of the things that Liv can't say or do yet. I think this is Paige's way of keeping the little one down.
Paige was very interested in hugging and kissing her sister today and by about 5 pm, Liv had had just about enough. She was squealing upon every Paige approach and she finally took to defending herself by pushing Paige's face away and inserting a few fingers into her right eye socket.
In my effort to model appropriate behavior, I held Liv's hands and kindly reminded her that we don't do such things. It went a like this...
"Liv, hands are for being gentle. We don't use our hands to put into people's eyes. You need to apologize and say that you are sorry to your sister. Paige was just trying to kiss you."
"Mom, Liv can't. She can't apologize. Liv can't do that because she can't talk yet."
Oh yeah, good point.
