My daughter has turned into quite the little mommy lately. She is quick to tell me when Ethan needs a diaper change, she pulls him away from the stairs, tells him no if he is about to do something that isn’t allowed and today she even grabbed a baby wipe and tried to help me change a diaper.

It makes me wonder, why did we have them so close together. Things would have been a lot easier if she had been old enough to understand and be this involved when he was born. I am really enjoying this phase so far. She isn’t fighting him for toys but instead trying to explain them to him. I was in the kitchen today and I could hear her in the next room going over a picture book and trying to teach him to say what the pictures were. She actually taught him to say book! He was a bit bored of it by the time they got to the end and I heard her use her most grown-up voice and say “concentrate sweetie”. I say this to her when we are getting toward the end of her lessons.

I really enjoyed today. It was a lot better than last week when they were pushing each other off the slide and fighting over toys. I just hope this phase lasts longer than a few days.
