We are so fortunate that Franny is interested in being a big sister, and that she is also very sweet and loving.    Sometimes it may seem like she is a little rough, but in most cases she is doing what she thinks Delaney would like; Franny likes to show Delaney how to do things—like splashing in the water table or playing with different toys.  Frequently, these things, seem rougher than they really are.  I try to give her as much leeway as possible, because I want to her to know that she is a good big sister, which I know is very important to her.  She may grab her hands or give her hugs that seem gruff, but as long as Delaney is okay, than I limit how much I interject.  In more cases than not, Delaney is more than okay—she is usually thrilled.   I don’t think that they are too young to be problem solvers—learning to react to each other’s emotions and needs is an important part of their relationship, and one that that I have seen them do.  Because Delaney still is so little, it’s very easy to constantly be saying no and limiting their contact.  But, with the obvious exceptions, I don’t think this benefits either of them.  These two sisters can—and are—figuring it out—one day at a time.
