The past few weeks Bennett has proven to us over and over again that he is 2.
He is full of energy, asks a million questions, prefers his ideas over ours, runs everywhere instead of walking, oh and one more thing...he throws tantrums.
It is much different parenting Bennett and Marie.
We have to approach them differently, discipline differently, and even reward them differently.
When Marie was little, it was all up to us.
But thankfully, Marie is our little helper with Bennett.
When Bennett doesn't want help from one of us, he goes right to Marie.
On more than one occasion Marie has been the only one to pull him out of his fit and back to reality.
This usually happens in the morning when we are trying to get out the door with all our chores done.
Marie takes his hand, reads him a book, and calms him down.
The best part is even though she is caring for him she still gets him to complete his chores.
"Don't worry, Mom. I'll take care of it." She says.
This new little baby is going to be so lucky to have a big sister and big brother here to help him whenever he needs it.
