Now that Cyprus is starting to explore, Daphne is interested in EVERYTHING he is doing. If he has a toy, she has to take it from him. If he is standing up, she has to move him. If he is crawling, she has to get in his way. I think it is just her way of expressing her love her for him, but it often upsets or hurts him. I am at my wits end trying to solve her being willing to let him live in his own space with his own body.

Today, while he was sleeping on me, I told her to sit down and I handed him to her. I hoped that he would stay asleep so that she could just love and enjoy him. My plan backfired because he woke up–grumpy. She tried to comfort him so that I could at least get a photo.

I just keep having to remind myself that they will get along one day the way that my sister and I get along now. One day.
