The Competition Called "Life"


Joshua and Livi have taken sibling rivalry to a whole new level lately . . . it is driving me CRAZY!  Everything they do is a competition, from the moment they wake up, to the moment they fall asleep at night:

Who can wake up first?
Who can drink their juice the fastest?
Who can pick their seat first?
Who gets to say the prayer?
Who has more crackers in their baggie?
Who can race to the car the fastest?
Who can touch mom first?
Who can make Ethan laugh the hardest?
Who can touch the door first?
Who can build the best lego ship?
Who can brush their teeth first?
Who can put on their pajamas the fastest?

You get the point.

I'm hoping this is a normal phase that they eventually grow out of.  If not, I just might end up in a loony bin or something.  *sigh*

NOT looking forward to that!!! You should use it to your benefit...
-- Who can clean the fastest
-- who can give mom the best back rub
-- who can be the most quiet :)
