Bunny is a great big sister. I am blessed that she is so nurturing and loves taking care of younger ones. She's very thoughtful and so good with Puppy. I've been using her to keep an eye on him while I do some stuff around the house. But whenever I hear him cry, I run down and start lecturing Bunny on how she has to be better at watching him. Then one day, as usual when I hear Puppy crying, I run to them and ask Bunny why he's crying. And then I start on my lecture about how she has to be better at watching him and then she goes, " Mommy, I'm only 4. (sigh), I'll try to be better." That shut me up... I forget sometimes that she's only 4, she is just such a great helper to me. I hope that I don't take advantage of it and then she'll grow up hating the responsibility of being an older sister. She's just so willing to help out. "I'll do it mommy"'

Lamb is not like Bunny. She doesn't like taking care of younger ones. She tends to want to hang out with bigger kids. One day:

Mommy: Bunny, watch Puppy for me, I'll be right back.
few minutes later,
Bunny: Lamb watch Puppy while I go pee pee.
Lamb: NO. (sweet voice)
Bunny: (shocked) what? I have to go pee pee. I'll be right back.
Lamb: (sweet) no, no thank you.

Lamb has started playing with Puppy a little more but whenever I go down to play room, I always see Puppy and Bunny playing together and Lamb is off on her own playing. So funny how different personalities can be.

oh, that little conversation is too funny! i hope G is as nurturing as E... somehow I don't think so. E is such a great kid! J, too, but in different ways :)
