Andrea J. Buchanan: Mother Shock: Loving Every (Other) Minute of It
What every new mom needs. This is one of the books that I give at baby showers. It's so important for you to know that you are not alone.
Anne Lamott: Operating Instructions: A Journal of My Son's First Year
You are not alone. Not all of us are content, happy, and glowing with new motherhood. Some of us are barely hanging on.
Jim Fay: Love and Logic Magic for Early Childhood: Practical Parenting from Birth to Six Years
I would be tearing my hair out if I didn't have the techniques taught in this book. This book has given me tools to teach and love my kids without losing my mind.
Adele Faber: Siblings Without Rivalry: How to Help Your Children Live Together So You Can Live Too
Mandatory reading if you have sibling issues from way back or if you're on child #2. It seems like this book simply gives you common sense, but some of us need that help.
She (E) admitted? Wow! Poor L, hope it heals quick :)

Well, our latest shiner involved a sister taking her brother's new baseball bat, and her brother attempting to get it away AS SHE SWUNG IT. Which is, to put it mildly, scary as all get-out.
I'm glad yours was just a book, and I hope it heals fast!

My kids are always Honest abotu stuff like that too. I am sure that will change soon.
Kiss that boo boo!

Wow! Intellectual rough-housing! Very impressive indeed. Let's hope she hits the books as effectively in school. :)

I think it is a testament to your excellent parenting that they dealt with it themselves and you only learned about it after the fact.

Those hurt. I got one once when co-sleeping with Connor (then 18 mos). He sat up and then fell straight back down. The back of his head met my cheek bone and eye. Ouch! Besides her shiner, L has a beautiful blue eye!

That looks like it hurt! Probably the first of a few that they give each other over the course of childhood, I imagine... Fortunately, it shouldn't affect how much they love each other :).

Oh dear. My three-year-old has done that to my two-year-old twice. Wait'll you see the looks you'll get in public! Oy. I am so sorry, I hope she heals super-quick!!

Is it okay that I'm laughing at it? Not at L's misfortune, but the whole incident and the happiness with which E announced that she hit her. Your girls are hoots!

I love how honest they are at this age. Poor L! She's just as beautiful as always, though. It is pretty amazing that you didn't need to intervene! And, E cracks me up, too. What with this and her costume choice. :-)

You gotta admire E's honesty! What were the consequences?
Posted by: Colleen | October 15, 2007 at 09:45 PM
It's nice that they're still young enough to be honest about it, although the remorse is a little lacking. :) Poor L.
Posted by: julie | October 15, 2007 at 09:52 PM
ouch poor L that looks like it hurts!
Posted by: kate | October 16, 2007 at 12:23 AM
is it really bad that made me laugh?
Poor L, though, seriously, and good for E for admitting it.
also, can i get a password for your pic blog? I've been reading for a long time, i promise...
