Kids and their quirks

Natalie seems to have the need to have blankets for her babies laid flat on the ground, just like her big sister.  If you don't put the blanket on the floor just right or on the baby stroller, she lets you know it!

Natalie has also decided that yogurt should be eaten with a fork...and while she is sitting on Mom's lap.

We are about to head into potty training.  The day care wanted to start her about a month ago but I had bought too many diapers and wanted to use them up.  They still won't be used up but Natalie keeps wanting to pull her pants down so I think we had better just transition her.

Lexi is reading up a storm but getting nervous about math.  She is also not liking fitness though I know she spends the majority of recess running around and swinging.  I am not sure exactly why fitness upsets her.

She does not Natalie crying...it really upsets her.  This makes it worse for me as then I have two upset kids.  I keep trying to tell her that Natalie is going to get upset but that doesn't mean Lexi needs to get upset.  Then she says all sorts of mean things about not liking Natalie and that no one loves her.  We are struggling to get her out of this mindset.  I hope it is just a phase and not an integral part of her character.
