Sure there may be rough times ahead, but seems a good start and one to encourage. I have seen families with children who are each other's best buddies and take care of each other. I think it definitely has to do with how they are raised and their impression of their own importance to the family and each other, despite the fact that children come as little individuals with minds of their own! :-) Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919603092155041516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078806588853616263.post-24720197580141701812013-11-21T22:05:24.451+00:002013-11-21T22:05:24.451+00:00You want to watch her.

Making remarks about how much the kids love each now other helps in the long run. Statements like, when we brought baby home from the hospital she saw you and said your name... AND we never even told her! It was her first words!<br />Also, show the kids photos of clowns and ponies for a week, Later, when the kids are older (Say 5 or 6) you can talk about that birthday party when she was three and there were ponies and the scary clown and how she left her new bicycle out in the rain and it melted due to the acid rain from China. If you start thinking about these things early you can warp their thought processes.<br />You do have to use self restraint.<br />At times I will be telling a story about the time Unicorns showed up for that picnic when we got to fly the airplane but then the dog catcher came and took them away and she will look right at me and declare me to be a fraud. It is quite embarrassing.buddeshepherdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10747323705664619491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078806588853616263.post-55361778576745221362013-11-21T13:25:52.337+00:002013-11-21T13:25:52.337+00:00It's the way her parents have raised her.
