Bothering big brother

Lately, V has bothered his brother more and more. A has toys, Lego and Bakugan that he likes. And until just now V hasn´t taken any interest in them.
But something has changed in the last couple of days and now A has to hide his things or put them real high up on shelves, or else V takes them, put them into his mouth or try to play with them (in a clumsy but rather cute way.)

This, of course, makes the boys more noisier. And we have to mediate in the small fights. Tricky sometimes, but not worse than most parents have to deal with, I guess.

Last day when I picked the boys up from nursery school the staff told me one good thing about this, though.

- V has begun to make clear. He "speaks up".

They told me that when a younger kid had taken V´s spade in the sandbox, V usually let him/her do that and starts play with tomething else. But not this time. He had made the sign for Stop - and then simply taken then spade back.

That´s the spirit V - and V is for victory!
