Adventures in parenting, vol. 18

Don't even ask about Simon and Sock the Garage Kitty























The Kindergartner and Little Red have very seldom been at odds.  Most of the time, unless one or the other of them is especially grouchy, they play very well together. 

However:  Little Red and the Vulcan Baby . . . oh my goodness.  If Little Red goes near The Runner, Vulcan Baby screeches and gets to her as fast as he can.  If Vulcan Baby touches any of Little Red's toys, there is shouting and scolding of the baby.  By the two year old.  I have taken to telling him that I'm the daddy, not him.  More than once, there has been a moment where the two of them have been in close proximity, and then there's crying, and the baby is on the floor (crying) while Little Red is serenely doing whatever it was he was doing before.  Pushing is involved in those episodes, we think. 

Little Red better keep his eye out for when his little brother grows up a little...and gets more of those teeth.
