Now do these two look like they would ever not get along or compete with each other? Sibling rivalry rears its natural but ugly head frequently between Little Big Man and Little Princess. Granted they are 4 1/2 years apart in age and different sexes, but they must always outdo one another in many different circumstances. I had to laugh to myself this morning, when it was time for our morning prayer on the drive to school -and it was Little Big Man's turn to say it-the Princess insisted it was her turn (which she insists almost daily). So, Little Big Man so eloquently said the morning prayer with such patience while the Princess was howling the whole time in her car seat that it was her turn. Rivalry over saying the PRAYER for goodness sake! This also happens at mealtime. Luckily, at bedtime, I say prayers with each child separately, so they have private time with me, and with God.
