The girls have had their first physical confrontation. "How?" you may ask. Well read on...
Janet was playing with Busby's new toy car. Busby was not thrilled with the idea, and tried to take it away. Janet did what she often does when she has something she doesn't want to give up, she runs for it and looks for a place to hide her head. This time she ran directly into my belly, which woke up her sister, and caused McCloud to start flipping and spinning all over the place.
It's an hour later, and McCloud still hasn't settled down.
I think it freaks out Busby and Janet to feel McCloud moving around in there, so they just refuse to touch my belly when I offer. Janet was once sitting with me on the sofa, and basically laying against my belly, when she was jabbed by the baby. Janet looked at me with the biggest eyes and kind of freaked out that there was something alive in there. Thank goodness she won't remember that. Until she reads this.

Take solice in the knowledge that when you hear them fighting, you know they are not plotting against you. It's when you don't hear them that you should worry!
You may find yourself in a happy place, quiet and alone in the kitchen, enjoying a piece of cake without having to share...when a winsome child will skip in, asking for for something simple, like tape or a spoon.
You may be tempted to provide the requested item so you can get back to your happy place for a few more moments...but beware. If you don't hear them fighting about that item within 15 seconds someone in the house is in danger or doing something they should not be doing. When they are young, the most likely target will be some artwork on the walls or you might find that the cat has a new hair-do. Later they will turn on themselves and you will be religated to full time referee. Just buy a striped shirt and whistle now.
You'll get good at it! Relish the time you get to spend on the court of life with your kids. Call fouls and encourage better sportsmanship. It's your job, the pay is bad but the players are fun to be around and the benefits last a lifetime.
Keep up the great work !
