Sibling Rivalry

Dear Mackenzie,

Ohmygod, you and Second GuhGaw were fighting SO MUCH today. Fighting over who gets the toys, fighting over how to play with the toys, fighting over who should clean up the toys. There was so much yelling, both between you two and me at you two. At one point, I asked you, "Can you guys please stop fighting? I don't like yelling this much. Yelling doesn't make me happy." You replied, "Yelling doesn't make you happy? Being happy makes you happy?" And then you started making silly faces at me and said, "My faces will make you happy." And you know what, they did! Thank you, sweetheart! But you still need to stop fighting so much with your brother.

Love,

Mom
