As Ben has begun smiling and reacting to her antics, Katie is increasingly pleased with her brother. We stil haven't convinced her, however, that letting him sleep is a GOOD thing. Although Kate isn't malicious toward her brother, she definitely has issues with all the attention he gets. She has pulled a couple of stunts, like peeing on the bathroom floor while Mommy is nursing. She often tells me that Ben is not hungry and that he really wants to lie on the floor and rest.
Some days are definitely more trying than others.
Of course, the only thing that will induce a nap in Katie is a well-timed car ride in the afternoon. Wouldn't you know, Ben hates the car. Hardly worth strapping everyone into their seats. To add to the irony, I should mention that one of the foolproof ways to knock Ben out is vacuuming. But, of course, Kate is scared of the vacuum and so she cries.
