The past few weeks, Bailey and Avery have fought constantly. Really. From the moment they get up in the morning, until Bailey goes to school they fight. And then as soon as Bailey is home, it starts up again. They are driving me crazy! They fight over the shadows on the walls, the color of their bowls, anything and everything. I am starting to feel really burned out by it. My patience is gone within minutes of them getting up (I like to blame it on pregnancy, but really I think it's the day after day after day of fighting).
We've talked about being kind, about doing what Jesus would do, about being friends. Nothing is working so far. I am really hoping this is a phase that ends REALLY soon.
Bailey also has some serious attitude. She doesn't just fight with Avery, she fights with me. She will ask me what day it is, I'll tell her, and she'll say, "No it's not." Arg! And this is repeated over and over all day!
This last Saturday morning I was gone, and when I came back I found Bailey and Avery on the computer playing with photo booth. I was so happy to see them getting along and having fun. Here are some of their creations as proof that at least for a few minutes, they were actually getting along:

my kids do that too. Everything is a fight, no matter how stupid it is and how much NEITHER of them even really cares. Its frustrating and hard. Let me know if you find the magic "off" button before I do...
I love that you are so honest about this stuff on your blog because it is such a comfort to me! I feel like I'm pulling my hair out all the time with Norah lately (like the last 6 months). There is no sibling fighting but I totally get the miss contrary attitude.
Ooh, did you get the Mac you were dreaming of? :-D
