Most Things Have an Opposite

And in my house one of those things is H. Her opposite? K. If they have to choose something (color of otter pop, what to eat for dinner, what music to listen to, etc) she will wait until he has chosen his and then she will choose the opposite (or at least something different). It is very annoying. Can't wait 'til M gets to start making choices, too!

A couple of nights ago at pizza night, H started making me Mother's Day "things". She would use my mom's paper punches and edged scissors to make me wonderful Mother's Day surprises. Then, she would run to me and say. "Happy Mother's Day!" and hand me whatever it was. The next day, she wanted to make more so I got out the few punches and scissors that I have and she and K went to town. And, guess who got to clean this loveliness up? I guess it is only fair--they are my gifts, after all! Happy Mother's Day indeed!

    Peter and Hannah do the same thing about decisions. They always want the opposite thing that the other wants. Now that Emma's old enough to put her 2 cents in it creates problems. Emma wants whatever hannah wants and Hannah wants what no one else wants. Lots of mind changing going on. hope M doesn't add that dynamic for you too! That is too funny about the mother's day gifts! I'm pretty sure it's an unwritten rule that all kids must make big messes for mom so she can really appreciate the beauty of the gift the kids made for her. It's like that here too.
