Right. As soon as you see that you know that this is exactly what I AM doing. Ah well…I figure if I write it out, I may figure it out 🙂
My conversation with Maggie this morning:
Logan and Maggie were both sitting on my lap.
Logan was putting his feet on Maggie’s legs.
Maggie: Stop TOUCHING me!
Me: He’s okay… he’s not hurting you.
Maggie: I don’t like him.
Me: What?
Maggie: I don’t like Logan.
Me: But…he’s your brother.
Maggie: No. Burke’s my brother.
Ya. We chatted a little bit about how both Logan and Burke are her brothers. I asked once or twice why she didn’t like Logan, but she pretty much ignored me and I didn’t want to push it.
So what’s going through my head?
- Well, that explains her indifference to him.
- But I’ve seen her share the much-coveted Gold Fish with him…
- Maybe she’ll like him better when they can actually PLAY together.
- Maybe she doesn’t like him because he takes up much of mommy’s time.
- Maybe she isn’t feeling well (I did keep her home from school today), and she doesn’t like ANYONE right now.
I chatted (quietly) with Brenda about it when she got here, so Brenda asked Maggie, “Where’s your brother?” and Maggie immediately pointed to Logan…so who knows.
****EDIT**** Maggie hugged Logan while he was walking toward us this afternoon. Perhaps she was just feeling snarky this morning. 🙂

I can’t believe someone related to you can have a “snarky” moment or two, especially a little redhead girl!
LOL Silly little girl!
Bee asked me the other day if it’s OK that she sometimes doesn’t like Cakes! At first, I thought, “NO it’s not OKAY!” But then I remembered all the times that I couldn’t stand my brother growing up, so I let it go.
yeah, like you never had moments (hours, days. . ) when you didn’t like your brother or sisters?!?
