Green Eyed Monster

The green eyed monster has emerged. No! I'm not referring to me - although, I am green-eyed and can be a monster to live with... especially when I'm PMS'ing.

No, this green-eyed monster is jealousy.

There has always been some form of competition between Elisan and Kyla. I figured it was sibling rivalry in it's infancy. It would begin as a little kiss here, a hug there, that when the other one would see that they were missing out on some mommy luv'in, they'd rush over and get in on the action. That's normal, right?

But, lately it's like Elisan has a stop watch and practically times the amount of time I'm spending with Kyla Mae and compares it with the amount of time I am spending with her.

(The nerve of me, to spend one extra minute tucking Kyla Mae into bed at night!)

And, the worse part of it all... she calls me out on it. There's nothing better than being called out by your 5 year old, let me tell you.

When Elisan whines that I've spent more time with Kyla Mae, I have to remind her that she was almost two years old before Kyla Mae was born and that she did not have to share me for two whole years! Yep, you guessed it... that didn't work.

So, since I'm being monitored now on the number of kisses, hugs and time spent with each child, I better be more diligent about my time management.
