PUT HER DOWN!

When you spend your pregnancy silently praying your children will love each other - it never dawns on you to place limits on that love!

Julia is in love with Anna - but apparently like everything else she does - it's in excess! She is constantly trying to pick her up, carry her about, give her hugs, and in general - boss her around. She loves to make her laugh and smile, but more often than not she is pissing her off. Anna is an independant woman - do NOT make the mistake of thinking she is a helpless 10 month old baby. She has at this young age already tapped into her inner strength and lets her inner woman ROAR. Julia of course accepts this as a personal challenge to bend her to her will. Usually this ends up with Julia being covered in infant slobber and screaming because she's been attacked. You can hear the soundtrack of our lives quietly playing Quiet Riot's "we're not gonna take it" in the background hum.

So - the two things I find myself saying on an almost minute to minute basis are "PUT HER DOWN" and "LET HER BE"

Ah - sisters!
