I was reassured that it would get better, and for the most part I guess it has. The aggressiveness with each other has pretty much become non-existant. They play together [...]

Emma had to pee… so she said. She was gone for a while and came back down to ask me something. I asked her who’s makeup that was and she started to panic… “No Momma!! It’s not makeup!” and she ran away. The color is off in the photo, but her eyelid is pink from [...]
