It seems to cover a lot of ground. Teasing, hitting, pushing ;) I didn't grow up with siblings, so all this is new to me! It is just amazing how they find new things every day to pester each other with. This is why one of the few things Chip actually says is "Go WAY Robbie!!" Sigh... Why can't he learn more of the good things his big brothers do! Tiffany, I’ve got to try the Be Excellent rule — I like it! It seems to cover a lot of ground.

My parents instilled this in us at a very early age. There weren't many (any?) rules in our house growing up, except: Be Excellent To Each Other. Now that we're grown I can see that it really made a difference. We don't always agree but we're very important to each other... this is something I really hope to pass along to my boys too.

Oh, The Joys: I always wonder what we can do to help foster that sibling bond. I know that some think it 'just happens' but I really wonder about that... Thanks, MamaDuck!
