This occurs by the minute in our house too. Scraming, grabbing, appologizing, hugging and kissing. Oh, there it goes, I hear some more "loving" going on right now. .-= Melodie´s last post ..Caring For A High Needs Baby During The Holidays =-.

I feel you on this one. There was time when Emma was getting just a little too rough in her 'love' for Hannah. Now that they are more or less the same size, Hannah is able to 'love' right on back. In our house, as long as no one is bleeding or unconcious or arms aren't at odd angles,I really try to let them work it out as much as they can at 3 an 4. It always ends in a kiss though, even if the hug is more like a suffication manouver. .-= Heather´s last post ..The Nutcracker =-.

I saw the older one grab and knock over the little one, and as I was about to intervene, the baby starts giggling with glee and his older brother proclaims, "we play together and have fun because we're brothers!" Um, ok. I guess they're having fun! .-= Lady M´s last post ..Team Alice =-.

Hugs can so quickly turn into pushing and vice versa. But at least he is at the point where he can push back.

Awww, how sweet. Makes me kinda sad though. Husband and I are both only children (LONELY children) and I’ll never know what sibling love feels like. This was the main reason we had another baby so quickly – we didn’t want Jonas to be alone for too long. Being alone sucks. And now we’re the only ones who can take care of our parents, which is a ridiculously huge responsibility for one kid. And nobody knows what it’s like to be raised in our house… we have nobody to commiserate with. It’s just a bummer.

This is why I love, love, love seeing my boys getting along (which they do, most of the time.) I think they’re going to be so close – maybe best friends even. And I love that.

Hmmm…I’ve been struggling a lot with this. I appreciate your lessaiz-faire attitude. It’s true that I can’t really orchestrate it as I would perhaps like to.

Sometimes it breaks my heart when I can tell by my son’s face that he is being mean and my daughter is laughing because she admires him so much and she’s too young to realize that it isn’t what she thinks.

When Em was born K went into a Hulk-like RAGE anytime he saw her. It was crazy. And scary. And most of the first 10 months of her life I spent trying to act as a shield between her and her brother who was doing his best to beat her down. We've finally progressed out of that stage and I can actually see some love and caring between them. Which is awesome. My series of pictures look a little like yours only with a bit more of the strangling shots than I would like. So when you say, "Let’s just hope that we all survive to tell the tale.", trust that I am totally with you on that sentiment! .-= Marilyn´s last post ..Snow =-.
