My daughter always was mean to my son, while he'd always do anything for her. My son was 2 and my daughter is 8 months in this picture. My son is now 4 and my daughter is 2.
So my daughter "Mawa" has been playing keep away since the age 9months. It makes her laugh more than anything else in the world knowing that she's "tricked" you into thinking she's going to give you something you want. I have been "tricked" and tricked by her many times.
Her favorite favorite victim however is her older brother J. He's a sensitive soul and is really stingy with his toys. So when she takes something from him, she gets a BIG reaction from him. Recently she's been playing keep away with her brother's Ben 10 watch and his Spongebob Squarepants helium balloon.
My husband and I constantly tell him that she messes with him because he will scream whine and make a huge deal out of it every single time. But he never listens and my daughter taunts him for a good 30 minutes. She literally laughs until she is gasping for air. I know it's bad that my husband and I laugh it is truly hilarious.
Today, she tried again with his Spongebob balloon. I finally sat J down and said, "J listen. Ignore she wants you to get angry. Just sit calmly and pretend you don't want it. And when she asks, say NOPE." And today he finally heeded mommy's advice.
And boy was she pissed.
She tried and tried to get her brother's attention and he just ignored her and said no to her. So instead of waving her white flag. She punched him instead. Lucky her J does not hit girls!
Is this a early life lesson about women for him?
Oh heavens... you have a feisty one on your hands! It will serve her well someday!
