Kate has been carrying around her doll these days – taking care of the baby – which I often think is a direct reflection of her experiences. Today she rocked the baby in the chair, she took her to go potty, she held her (by the head…), she talked to her, she blew her nose, she sat with her on the couch, she watched tv… then she said “baby hit me”. No sooner had the baby hit her did she have to go sit on the naughty step and was lectured about hitting people.

Hmmmmm…. perhaps she’ll be a good big sister one day.
