A Tale of Two

Sibling rivalry is hitting its peak around our house! They are the best of friends and can find themselves in some pretty interesting situations together (unrolling multiple rolls of paper towels, crushing crackers into the carpet as part of their 'rockin' out party', water everywhere... then suddenly mass rivalry to snuggle on my lap, or play with a certain toy, or stand in the same spot. Both their feisty attitudes will come right out in these situations :) then watch out though if you get after one of them, especially if we give Emmy a count for something. Owen is her hero and he will swoop in to save her with all the courage of an almost 5 year old - 'Mom! Don't be mean to Emmy or I'll put you in time out!' It is so sweet to see him want to rescue her when 5 minutes before he was running away laughing because he took her favorite toy and she is screaming hysterically. I love that he does it too when we are at the park playing, he will defend her without question and it makes my heart happy. Owen has started coming in her room at night to say goodnight with the biggest hug and kiss and she loves her 'Owie'
