Broken Rules

The number one rule in our house (born of necessity) is "Do not make Olivia scream." It's really a rule for Will. I don't know why big brothers insist on tormenting their little sisters until they scream (and drive Mommy crazy) -but apparently, it's encoded in their DNA and Will is no exception.

Yesterday, I was trying to get Olivia ready for bed and she was upset that I wouldn't let her take her new Princess CD player to bed with her. She pouted, argued, etc and then looked me dead in the eye and said, "Mommy! You are making me sad and it's a rule that you don't make Olivia sad!"
