Today justice was served. And oh, how sweet it is! Ever since Emma could walk she learned to tease and torture Sydney. She was quick to see how easily Sydney's attention could be won by taking toys, dolls, etc...the list goes on. I have always tried to convince Sydney to ignore Emma and wait a few minutes for Emma to drop the highly desired toy. Which, of course, didn't work. Sydney still squeals like a girl chasing Emma around the house pleading for what's "rightfully" hers. The hardest part to watch in this daily scenario is the fact that Emma laughs joyfully holding the desired object up high as she runs in circles around the house. I have even resorted to encouraging Sydney to take the toy back. Maybe even a little hint on how to get on top of Emma and exert her "older & wiser" sister skills. This was to no avail. Gentle, loving Sydney could never do such harm. But, I mean, come on...Emma totally deserves it, right?
Well thank heaven for the food chain. Because watch out Emma here comes Ben. He has finally perfected his little saunter, bull-legged run and put it to good use today! He eyed a toy that Emma had and snaked it from her when she wasn't looking. Emma shrieked like a banshee and chased him. Ben ran straight to me and dived into my lap...laughing and holding the toy away from Emma. I was so excited! Finally!! Sydney and I cheered Ben on for retaliating on that sneaky Emma. Poor Emma. Life will never be the same. This is why younger siblings are a necessity!

Love the post. I must say though as the "oldest" it is so much fun to torture younger siblings. I let Chase get a way with murder to Emily. Younger sibling can just be so annoying :-)
Not very PC is it?
Youngest sibling here! Yeah, I don't much go for bullies, and I have never let anyone get away with it, so I'm with Ben here.
I had steeled toed Buster Browns when I was in Kinder and, whenever my brother's friends would tease me at the bus stop, I would kick them hard on the shins. They were four years older too. Yeah, baby!
Ben has such a cute personality and he's only ONE!!!
Let the war begin wit the siblings
HAHAHA!!!! Love it!!!
Though, I do have to add, you sound like you are talking about MY children!!! Ofcourse!!! LOL!!! Why do we live so far away from one another?!
This is a page out of my everyday life. Fortunately Katelyn won't be having any younger siblings anytime soon to de-throne her.
