Needless to say I am always amazed by babies. The ability to adapt, grow, and change so rapidly without the slightest knowledge of why this is happening to you and the bliss full acceptance of your path in life! There is something to be said for a lack of long term memory!
This being said there are pains that come along with learning how to become a social creature. I was harshly reminded of this when I picked my 10 month old up from the church nursery on Sunday.
She had two large scratches on her face! My husband asked the wonderful nursery worker what happened, she said little Miss Ruby had gotten into a fight with another baby over a microphone. I wonder who was jealous of the possession of the illusive microphone? My daughter or the other child and if it was my daughter is she already displaying signs of a bully? Or did she just need center stage for a moment?
I do not know all the details but I do know my child, and I am hoping that this is not a preview of what my life is going to be like! But again, understanding her big sister it would neither shock nor surprise me if she were being aggressive. I also remember being a second child! The road is long to finding ourselves but we must persevere.
