First Fight

We’ve loving this Spring weather in northern California after a harsh winter with all kinds of wet storms week after week. We’re finally getting sunny breaks and ditching our coats and scarfs. The nicer weather also makes going out and running around town a bit simplier, no hauling around raincoats, umbrellas, boots, hats, scarfs, gloves etc to worry about.

Pixs from over the weekend...playing pool at Jointed Cue where Auntie A works.

I got off at 3:30pm yesterday and took Katie over to play with her cousin T. With the time change, there was plenty of daylight to enjoy a cool afternoon on the front porch. The kids drew bugs on the sidewalk with chalk and the neighbor’s kids lent them a skateboard to roll around in. Although, the kids love eachother to death, they are still little individuals learning how to interact and share with other little individuals. Inevitably, they will push and shove the other for what they want or don’t want. And so, we left the play date with an official first fight.

Taking a break at SB after the Zoo on a sunny Sunday afternoon.

Making duc faces at the zoo.

It happened so fast that the three adults in the room (me, Yogi and sister-in-law) did not catch any part of the fight until we heard a scream. As soon as we turned our heads, it was all over. The two troublemakers were tangled up on the ground with one in tears. The closes object to the both of them was ball so we assume they were fighting for the ball but who knows, they practically fight over every little thing these days.

Poor cousin T will always look like the bully over Katie who’s the innocent little sister. It doesn't help T to love to play rough and stand solid in weight and muscle. But I have to you warn all you boys that however bad you may seem, we know our daughter is never always the innocent one. We’ve seen her purposely tap T where he clearly does not want to be touched so watch out and don’t let this little girl fool you into doing something that will land you in timeout.

See her dark sides...intimidating huh...lol...

Have a great week everybody!!
