Having two children of different ages and genders has its moments. Here's an example: Brenden and Annie were "playing" while I was making dinner last night and I heard Brenden yell....
Brenden: Mommmmm, Annie pinched me!
Annie: (In a very calm voice) No, I scratched you.
Me: Ann come here. Did you hurt your brother?
Annie: Yep.
Me: We do not hurt people. Go to time out.
Annie: ok
Annie: ok
The kids have been learning to share and play with each other. It has been a very long road, but today was the best yet. I came home from work exhausted so we decided to pull out the play dough. Bren hauled the bin upstairs and set it all up!! He and Annie played, I mean really played, with each other for about 40 minutes!!! It was really nice and I hope we have more good days!!

=D AWWW. I always have gotten along with my siblings, and I love when others do too!
You have the most beautiful children! I love and miss them both! And I love and miss you and Troy, too! Glad that you're enjoying the city - good luck with the house hunting. Give Brenden and Annie a big hug for me. Love, Uncle Doug
Annie's part in that whole conversation was totally mom (and you) incarnate. She does what she wants, is honest about it and willing to suffer the consequences with few apologies/regrets!!!
