Welcome to Siblinghood

Now that Tai talks a lot more, it is interesting to hear what goes on in his little mind. I observed this little sibling interaction this morning:
Tai is playing with duplo legos "building a robot"
Jasmyn comes over to check out what he is doing with those colorful and fun little blocks that look good for sucking on.
Tai knows exactly what she is doing so he brushes the blocks away from her. "Jasmyn, dont!" he exclaimes.
Jasmyn, ever so innocently, smacks Tai on the leg a few times.
Tai looks up at me. "Mommy, get Jasmyn go away?"
I was so impressed with how he handled the situation (without yelling or hitting), that I indulged his request and let him build in peace.
