Naomi and Joshua came to ask me something while I was washing up. Naomi started and Josh said, "Wait. I'll handle this". Hmmmm. How many times has he heard me say that, coupled with "Don't deal with it yourself...."? It sounded very funny coming out of his mouth though.
Rose is usually the one who likes to handle things but she is struggling a bit at the moment with feeling a little excluded by Joshua and Naomi. They are not content to let her take control of every game so have shut her out a little bit. This has been frustrating for her and she has not made good choices about how to express this - usually resorting to trying to annoy them in some way - humming an irritating tune or throwing the animals into "their space" to cite two examples from today! I am finding it hard to help her and we had a pretty explosive day today.

All part of growing up and finding your way in the world - independently.
However they all have to learn to play together and listen to one anothers point of view which is not easy when you have been king pin. I guess this is the difficulty of having three close together?
