rockin'

yesterday, thing 2 had his friends over. this is how they spent their time.

did you notice the little head watching from just outside the door? this is as close as thing 3 was allowed to get.

i think i'm a bit twisted because i kind of enjoy hearing my kids interact in the "typical" brother,sister/sibling way.

for example...

big brother comes home with friends and quickly closes himself in his room.

little sister follows soon after clip clopping in her beautiful plastic high heels, up the stairs and down the hall. stopping outside of the brothers room she sweetly knocks.

brother answers the door, sees who it is and quickly, bluntly, asks "what do you want?"

she wants to come in she says so sweetly.

brother says NO

sister says YES

he yells GO AWAY

she yells LET ME COME IN in a whiny sort of way

he says firmly GO AWAY and shuts the door

little sister comes moping downstairs where she waits until the door opens and then she stands innocently outside, just watching, wanting to be a part of the fun.

sad, i know, but the exchange is so classic it just makes me laugh.

the boys are usually very good to her. she follows them around, runs through their kick ball games, bats her pretty little eyes at their friends and steals their scooters. all of which they put up with very sweetly.
