The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck

New milestone
Well Monday the 13th was the day Mackenzie finally crawled! She's been rocking on her hands and knees for about a month now. She usually just rolls towards objects she wants, or scoots backwards. But she crawled towards the tv remote on the floor! She acted like it was nothing new and she's been doing it all along! So I kept using the tv remote as motivation to keep her crawling. Sometimes when I use toys to motivate her to crawl she has this look on her face like she's thinking if it's worth it to crawl towards the toy or not. Now that she's crawling around she's getting into Katelyn's toys moreso than before!!! Today she had crawled towards the play kitchen and pulled out the basket that holds all of the plastic food for the kitchen. She dumped the pretend food out and was banging them on the basket. That was fine until big sister realized she was playing with "her" toys! So I found the Leapfrog drum and the Elmo jukebox and let Mackenzie play with those. Well that's when Katelyn wanted to play with them. She said they were her toys! Which at one time they were, but explained to her they were her toys when she was a baby. But if she wanted to play with them she had to share all toys with Mackenzie. Katelyn thought that was great until Mackenzie was playing with the toy Katelyn wanted, so she would switch whatever Mackenzie was playing with another toy. Which at least she did replace one toy with another. Mackenzie didn't seem to mind as long as she had a toy in her hands! This must be the beginnings of sharing among siblings 101.
