The kids are having a hard time with sharing, equal on both sides, though Dasha is an instigator. Camden has all of his "valuable" toys up in his room, but the common toys, Camden will be playing with something and she will just come and snatch it from him. Camden, being an only child, does not fight back, but immediately cries and then she runs from him. So I am constantly intervening with toys. Though today was a great break-through, they played for over an hour together with no fighting, no screaming, and no fits!

Great pictures. So glad you're getting some sleep. It definitely DOES make it easier to manage the hurdles that are still to come. The toy sharing will work out in time because you will teach both of them to share but you'll probably have to intervene some in the process. Dasha is probably doing what's worked for her in the past. They're smart kids and they'll learn. Considering that Dasha hasn't been home even a month yet, she and all of you are doing great.

Glad to hear that sleep is getting better. We had the same issues with Anna and she was 21 months old when we brought her home. And the sibling rivalry....wow!! I think our kiddos are about the same ages and it does get better but it is definitely a rough road!! Happy New Year!!
ReplyDeleteGlad things are going better! Sharing is an issue at this age no matter what the circumstance. I was ready to go back to work if only to escape the constant toy battles between our two biological boys...it's the pain of going from one to two, but it will get better! Happy New Year and best of luck with nap time now. :)
