The lying starts...

One of our biggest challenges right now is getting Carolyn to give Blake some much needed space. Since she views herself as his second mommy, she is always trying to "help" him.

Blake pulls himself to standing now, so we have a lot of falls and head bonks. If Carolyn sees Blake pulling up she freaks out and rushes over to help him down, usually causing a much more painful head bonk than if she just left him alone. She's been in time out over and over again for knocking her brother over and just generally being all over him.

This morning, I hear Blake start growling and then a loud crash, quickly followed by Carolyn running away from him, looking at me with wide eyes, saying "maybe Blake bonked himself."

Sure, Carolyn, that's why you tried to run for cover before I got there.
