The boy

Kolt is passionate about his food! You better be prepared and fast with the food or be ready to hear the FEED ME CRY!  He has started sticking his fingers in his mouth right after I put the spoonful of food in his mouth. This makes for an incredibly messy dining experience.  Of course, wiping his face and hands when he is done eating is another opportunity to scream that is not wasted on him.  Please don't get me wrong, I am not complaining, he is the little love of my life along with his sister who does her fair share of screaming as well.

Vi has started asking me to take him back to the "hobstibul" or hospital if you prefer. I do the wish fulfillment game with her which seems to be diffusing her frustration of having a baby brother.  The wish is usually to ship him in a box back to the hobstibul and get a new baby sister--she says with a big smile.  What a great tool wish fulfillment has been!  Instead of her getting more upset over whatever he has done or imposing some adult logic that makes no sense to her, she feels understood, validated, and un-angry--love it!
