Peace in our time

Simon and Lillian are finally starting to get along much better.  Simon still isn't the best at sharing - his version of sharing is usually just taking whatever Lillian's playing with - but he's not really getting angry and yelling at her whenever she comes by.  And just in time too, since she's recently started copying his yelled "NO" that he used to do to her all the time.  We talked to Simon about how he's teaching Lillian how to act and we don't want her to turn into a mean person, and he really seemed to take that to heart... he's been significantly nicer to her since then.

Helping her put on her shoe

Not only are they not fighting as much anymore, but lately Simon has been actively trying to play with her and she's finally gotten to the age where they can have some fun together.  One of their favorite games is to chase each other around the island in the kitchen, but they also play with the blocks or stacking buckets or play food together.  I hope this cease fire lasts... it's been nice to see them being happy together (and to get a break while they keep each other entertained).

After the jump are a couple more recent videos of the two kids getting along.
