It only took around 16 months! Kellynn figured out early that she could take things away from Ella because she was "just a baby." We had numerous talks about why this was not a nice thing to do. The talks have never seemed to work. Secretly, I couldn't wait until Ella figured out what was going on and object to the mistreatment. I got my wish this weekend. Now I regret thinking I would like for Ella to take up for herself. She has started hitting (arms just a swinging) and biting. She was sent to "Time Out" three times today.

I guess that now Kellynn will have to learn the secrets of Mind Control. As a fellow "oldest" sibling- I am surprised you haven't taught her the secrets of that yet! After all you were really good at getting your way with Jennifer and me. Anyhow, until then- YOu go Ella! Don't let that mean big sister push you around!

I keep telling Haley (6) that Mason (20 months) is going to hit the shit out of her one day for annoying him and taking things from him. I told her that when he does I will laugh. Maybe I should revisit that approach. By the way Ella...YOU GO ON WITH YOUR BAD SELF! Also ...glad her ortho appt went so well.

Jacqueline had this to say:
Sam has started playing rougher with Jack lately, and sometimes too rough. We always tell him that whenever he is mean to him, Jack remembers and one day he will get back at him. Of course Sam is like, "No way!" But then we remind him about his 2 cousins and the youngest(20 months) has been letting loose on her big sister (4 yrs.) lately. At that point, Sam kinda settles down. Speaking of Mind Control.

I just know that when I have another baby Tess is going to be the biggest bully!

I agree with Kelly, good for Ella! Brooke use to bully me all the time when we were younger, that little one has to stand up for herself! lol

I love this! I have waited for this moment! I am always the one settling disputes as we chat on the phone, now it is your turn. The moment that is even better, is when Ella will finally blurt out what sis did and Kellynn will be in shock!!

I am still at that point with Grace... hitting and biting. It's very frustrating. Luckily she doesn't have siblings to do that to-- just Joe and I!
