Kiss and make up

Ryan knows how to start a fight with Emma, but Emma sure knows how to finish it!  Sunday we stayed in our p.j.'s all day (minus the hour Ryan went to the park with Pa).  We played in (destroyed) both girls rooms and I witnessed many power struggles between the two.  Here is how it most often goes down.  Emma will have a toy.  Ryan will not really want the toy, but she does not like the fact that Emma has it  Then, Ryan will decide that she needs the toy and will say to Emma "that's mine" (even if it is Emma's) and take it from her.  If Emma didn't have enough warning to grab Ryan's hair before Ryan took the toy away you can bet she is about to. After Emma grabs a handful of Ryan's rats nest she usually takes her to the ground and this is when the scratching and kicking takes place.  Emma is relentless.  She always wins and Ryan always ends up in tears.  We worked a lot on Sunday on asking nicely for the toy.  When Ryan does this, Emma usually gladly hands it over and beams when her big sister thanks her.  Besides the 2-3 WWF matches I witnessed/refereed I also saw a lot of sweet, sisterly love!

After a knock down drag out at least they can kiss and make up!
