Self-Reliance

When a one-year-old without an older sibling

Gets their toy snatched away from them,

They cry.

DAILY SNACK

When one-year-olds without an older sibling

Gets their toy snatched away from them,

They cry.

When a one-year-old with an older sibling

Sees her brother coming toward her,

She takes off running in the other direction.

Because she knows all is fair game

When Mom isn’t paying attention.

Atta girl.
