Ethan definitely likes to try to get his sister in trouble. In general, it's usually Ethan that has done something to her when she does get mad at him so he is usually the one getting in trouble. Today I was cleaning up after dinner and this is the conversation:
Ethan: Taylor's hurting me.
Me: What is she doing?
Ethan: Stuff, mean stuff.
Me: Like what?
Ethan: Just mean stuff.
So I walk into the room to see Taylor at the book shelf getting a book and pulling it across the room. I give Ethan one of those "sure she was" looks and go back to the dishes. A few minutes later,
Ethan: She's still being mean.
Me: She is just looking at a book.
Ethan: But she got out the dinosaur book to scare me away. Look it has big teeth on it.
I think he is giving his sister a little too much credit. Of course a few minutes later he was told to pick up his blocks and I heard him trying to talk Taylor into picking them up for him. She is actually a much better cleaner-upper so it actually worked. Soon she will learn that he was just trying to "throw her under the bus" with mom.
Wish us luck as we start another two months with Abe being away during the week. He hasn't been gone 2 hours and we already miss him. Week 1 is always the worst. We have been spoiled having him around for the last 2 months and it has been wonderful! Work has been terribly busy and having Abe around has been such a blessing. The last week has been 12 hour days and I can't wait for Wednesday when I get to start a break from work. A nice trip to visit the grandparents is just around the corner, as long as we can survive until Wednesday.

what a goof ball! and how funny that he can get taylor to clean up for him. i would have thought she was too little!
I love that dinasour teeth are so scary. Ellie is going through a stage of thinking things are scary too. Random things.
My kids are constantly blaming everything on each other... just wait until Taylor can talk more. :) Good luck being on your own again! I hope you make it through tomorrow ok and can enjoy your break!
I bet she made him cry. You really should have a talk with her, Meredith. This bullying is getting out of hand. Show her no mercy! ;) Too funny.
I'm sorry Abe is gone for a few months. You are amazing. I bet the first week is the hardest and then you find your groove. I am counting down the days until we see you (well months I guess since you haven't given me a specific date yet!) We are so excited. Lots of fun ahead!
