Clara's speech therapist asked Mommy to bring in a notebook to use for speech. Daddy picked up the notebook and Mommy gave it to Clara this morning and suggested that she and Emma color the cover. Emma got upset she didnt' have her own, but eventually, they colored it together- and were proud of the result.
The best was watching Clara clutch the notebook and walk to the car with it and tell everyone about it.
She even asked tonite if she had "speech homework."
The kids have been fighting quite a bit- pulling hair and shoving each other. They've done it in front of friends and at home. Tonight, after a full day of Mommy playing referee, they just went at it. They kept yelling "I'm stronger than you," and crying and pushing each other. They did stop and moved on, so maybe letting them get it out and not interfering is a good way to go sometimes.
