On Saturday, Sara (a 8 year old girl) came visit us in surprise. I took both Kaitlyn and Sara to Kaitlyn classmate's birthday party at Pump-it-up. They enjoyed so much, and Kaitlyn was brave to try out many games she used to be scared of, as long as she follows Sara. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera and didn't take any pictures.
After we got home, interesting drama occurred between Sara and Kaitlyn. For some reason, Kaitlyn felt jealous about Sara. (She barely showed this much with other kids before, no matter girls or boys). You can see she felt left out and not happy when we played with Sara or appraised Sara. When she felt hurt, she would not come join us, and she won't tell you her feelings either. You should see her expression. When I hug her and comfort her, her tears came off... Her emotions have been up and down all night.
Later when Sara was eating dinner, she picked up Sara's toy and started playing with it. She came telling us that's sharing. Sara wasn't happy about it and repeated several times "Not right now!" But Kaitlyn insisted "she's sharing" - in her own way of interpreting "sharing". She looked at Sara unhappy and confused. When I told Kaitlyn to give the toy back to Sara and play after Sara finished her dinner. She just can't hold herself up, tearing start running down her face. It was quite a scene...
Luckily, girls forgot about everything in 10mins, and played picnic together so well for the rest of the evening. Being 4-year apart makes such a big difference. Daddy joked maybe it's time to get her a little sister or brother when I told him about the story... We'll see:) The same time, Kaitlyn's personality is becoming clearer, especially when she faces confrontations.
