Sophie has a track record of being rough when Topher is near. She doesn't intend to be, but her love for his cuteness and mild jealousy over his existence combine to create aggressive hugs and kisses. She is determined to overcome this so that I will start asking her to watch him while I make dinner, since the older three each take turns with him in the afternoons.
Yesterday morning she practiced being gentle and patient with him. She played and read and did a good job. Am I ready to let her babysit? No, no I am not. However, I'm not quite as terrified about momentarily leaving a room with both of them in it. Progress, eh?
