 | | Solenne is 4 1/2 and the fourth child. She hates to look "cute" preferring to look "cool." When playing she wants to be the knight or Shrek or the dog. Mirabelle is almost 4. She is the first child and not used to rougher older siblings. She loves pretty dresses, anything pink, ponies, and kittens. She always wants to be the princess (Fiona or otherwise) or the cat. So in many ways Mirabelle and Solenne are perfect playmates ... until Solenne starts to call Mirabelle stupid or poo poo head or something like that. And Mirabelle, being the gentle spirit she is, starts to cry. It didn't take long for her to realize if she told me or Aunt Maria (Solenne's mother, my sister) that Solenne was calling her names, that we would step in. It did take us a little longer to realize that Mirabelle had to learn to deal with it herself. So there was plenty of Mirabelle running to Aunt Maria and Solenne getting in trouble for saying these things.
One afternoon Maria called upstairs to where the little girls were busy playing to tell Solenne it was time to eat ... And Solenne's response was "But, Mom, I was being nice!"
