Partners in Crime!

One big problem we had when Ben was little, was that Sophia was really mean to him.  We pu his bouncy seat in the pack 'n play so she wouldn't sumo jump on him in it. I remember at one of his well baby visits, telling the doctor about our problem just as Sophia took his hand and bit it! Even when he was a little older, it would go something like this: Me: Sophia get off your brother right now! S: But he's not crying! Me: I don't care, get off his head!

Ben is one tough kid now and he loves his older sister so much. Sophia is much gentler with him now.  It's almost as he's gotten bigger that she sees him as a person and not a punching bag.

The flip side of this is that they are now co-conspirators in crime.  Today when Ben got into my purse, Sophia was right there encouraging him in his destruction. Most things were ok, but Ben had a lot of fun ruining a tube of lipstick.  

Co-conspirators!
