Sibling rivalry: Update 1

(Mummy posts..)

On the surface she doesnt show that she detests Didi or insist we cannot carry Jarel.. but can sense she is feeling that her territory is being taken over partially by this new member of the family. She will watch quietly when we change his diapers or bath him. We try to get her to help. Depends on her mood. Sometimes ok, sometimes no no no. Ok no.. we dun force her. So far havent even managed to get her to sayang Didi or carry Didi or sit by him to take a pic.
Mummy is torn between having to spend time with Jarel and Shauna. Seldom have time to just sit with Jarel and talk to him or just carry him.. on the other hand Shauna is requiring alot of attention as well. Making an effort every evening to bring Shauna down for a walk.. a breather for Mummy and also some alone time with Shauna..

Shauna has become very possessive over her belongings/toys etc. We have to be extra careful not to cross the boundary, else she will cry a very chum hurt cry that will break your heart one.. Not sure if we shld be still allowing her to continue her possessiveness, or to start teaching her to share. Worry if we insist she share, it will affect her acceptance of Jarel. Anyone has any advice or solution?

Well at least, she is able to identify that her kammi is pink and Jarel's jammi is blue. No issue over that. ;o)
