sibling interactions?

[steffipoo]

;D

Hi Well I finally have some time on my hands and wanted to ask this question for a while. See my kids are very close in age and have always been sooo darned close. Kyle Olivias older brother loves the fact I give him most of the credit for how well Olivia speaks. He was her lil teacher when he was 1 and a half and up. I'll never forget when he taught her how to say volcano you'd have thought the world had stopped spinning. It was/is awesome. Anyhooo...

I have never had a problem with the two fighting I mean its weird kinda spooky as a matter of fact. The daily banter between my sis and I went like this

me the morning person all happy
my sister the crankiest morning person ever

Heres the scene at the breakfast table.... my sis is glaring at me cause I am so chipper and happy n love breakfast and she hates breakfast and is not a morning person.

me(the brat); MOM CAREYS STARING AT ME
my mom : CAREY STOP STARING AT UR SISTER

I get an even meaner look with a sign something like cutting your throat from my sis( see? we even used sign language in the 60's)

Me tattling again. and my sis stomping off to her room whereby she would find I had already hidden her school clothes on a daily basis and hidden her underwear under her bed.

me; getting in trouble from mom for hiding clothes.
CAREY my sis... I GET THE FRONT SEAT ( we had a bug)
My MOM ; GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.

Carey and I boxing in the driveway and me getting the front seat as usual.
me : standing up backwards on the seat on the way to take my sis to school ( we didn't have car seats sheesh we didn't even use seatbelts it's amazing I am alive today) occasionally sticking out my tongue at her.

We fought when we were little like cats n dogs. My kids really never ever did. I wanted to sometimes shake Kyle as he blew off things she did.( he did the right thing cause she stopped without a reaction but man it would get to me) Now Kyle and Olivia fast forward 12 and 13 years old.OMG the two of them just LOVE to get on each others nerves. Somehow Olivia can always manage to make Kyle laugh and stop being mad but boy howdy those two in the same room brings music to my ears lmao. brings me back to my childhood. Kyles starting high school and still takes her places ( he is showing her how to take the bus to the park and the YMCA right now) but man I can see him getting annoyed with her and finally saying something about it. Makes me crazy n happy that they r fighting like typical siblings all at the same time.
an example and then I'll go...
Olivia is bugging the you know what out of Kyle so he starts in on her. And he will NOT let up he's getting peeved by now then omg Olivia walks up to him and starts poking him in the chest and stomach with her index finger ( now he and I are annoyed ) then she says as she's poking him over and over
" Where's the off button on this thing where's the off button on this thing where's the off button on this thing"
Okay we both laughed so hard even though we were mad thats the kinda stuff she does to lighten up the situation when its getting tense. lmao
sooo..... what about your kid

My kids are 11 years apart and love each other dearly. During my first marriage, I had two stepsons who were 11 months apart. They would pick on each other all the time and the were also best friends. They used to drive me crazy! I don't miss the sibling rivalry at all. ;D

The girls are always messing with each other in our house. It is a constant MOM here. I just started telling them to say "thank you"
Mom, Sarah hit me. Did you tell her thank you? They say no and then they move on. It is just crazy here. Lauren is always busy. She is 11 and the others are 6 and 3. Lauren speaks very well too. In the car it is the worst. One day I know I will miss it but it is nice when it is quite. Like right now...awhhhh

My two are 3 and 1/2 years apart and honestly Kodi Lee has been a saint with her Bro. He busts her chops all the time even when he was just a tiny guy and she just puts up with it But that is my gal very easy going

He cracks us all up, as every time Kodi brings home a new boyfriend, Chris has the need to rattle off the names of the old boyfriends LOLOL (Funny is that for my boy that has many speech issues, he gets all the names perfect) So I told Kodi start rattling off the names of his past girl friends... LOL and he DOESN'T like that at all LOLOL

They have their and have had their moments for sure BUT the love they share is just PRICELESS ;D

Hey Stephanie - I love that Olivia can quickly diffuse the situation!

My girls are 2 years apart but are still babies at 2yrs old & 4months old, too early for sibling rivalry. However, what I can say about their interaction with each over is that Violet LOVES, LOVES, LOVES Reina. Anytime I come home from work, or anyone comes to our house she lets us know where Reina is, she won't stop until you acknowledge that yes, Reina is right there. I have a hard time getting her to stop kissing her, cuddling her, she helps me change her diaper and clothes, helps me put her in the swing. Every evening we work on Reina's exercises and OT, and Vi is always right there helping and of course has to take her turn on the exercise ball. She is also trying to teach Reina how to hold things in her hand and push buttons on the toys. I could go on and on and on. The funniest right now though is that when she tries to give her kisses on the mouth, of course Reina's mouth is open and her tongue is sticking out...well, let's just say that Vi is getting an adult kiss from a 4month old. I try to tell her to just kiss her on the cheek. I am so excited to watch them grow up together!
