Those two on the right are my relief team. I don't have time to tell you how thankful I am to have older children around with a now six month old, but what a difference having older siblings in the house can make on parenting little ones!!! No one can captivate Faith like her older brother and sister. Ken and I are great stand ins, but those crazy kids surely hung the moon.

Seems like it would be nice. Mine are so young... they sometimes help keep Leaf amused, but two seconds later it turns into pinching Leaf and taking his toys away. I often have to banish them from his presence.

Don't be fooled...my kids get banished too! Yesterday, we were doing the Bumbo in the sink thing and Grace sprayed her poor sputtering sister in the face on THREE separate occasions with the sink sprayer. She was promptly banished.
And Jack is always rubbing his nose all over Faith, giving the innocent child snot tracks up and down her body. Relief team, yes. Perfect entertaining angels...not so much.

Oh can I relate to older children "entertaining??" the younger sibling. MKH thought entertaining her toddler brother, was showing him how to stick a wire into a wall socket. The end result was it shot back out at them and landed on one of them (I believe it was her) causing a minor burn. Entertainment? and believe me there are countless more stories to tell on all of them.
