We all know that Lizzy is usually a very sweet sister to Peter, but sometimes, when pushed to her limits, you better watch out. Let's just say, she's been known to give a pop in the heat of frustration. The other day, Peter was bugging Lizzy, and much like a pestering little fly, she swatted him away......except she didn't just swat........she stabbed him in the chest with a ball point pen. Thank goodness she's not that strong, and Peter wasn't really hurt, but that was pretty mean, and I was mad. I sent her right to her room (after a good old fashioned scolding). It was pretty quiet in there, until after a few minutes, Lizzy opened her door and said, "Peter! I have something special for you!" Peter came running, and so did we. Lizzy had put together a basket of some of Peter's favorite things, like binkies and his blue bear, and some of her treasures, like her "moonstone" and wishing rock. I was so proud of her, because I told her that's what big girls do. When they're sorry, they say more than just words- they make it right by showing that they're sorry too. We've been having more and more of these "big girl" moments lately. They are wonderful to see.
