When peace like a river...

There has been a complete transformation in the way Rudy regards Margot. He has not shoved, hit, bitten, pinched, or screamed at her in two weeks! Instead he roars with laughter at her attempts to "chase" him doing an army crawl, and he wants to dance and sing for her at every opportunity. I think he's caught on that he has a very happy and encouraging audience who adooooooores him! This morning I walked into the living room and he told me to go away because he wanted to play with just Margot. It made my heart sing.
I have to say it has coincided with Rudy potty training. I don't know if a big "challenge" redirected all his energy in a positive way, but it has truly made our house a happier place to be.

So wonderful to hear how much happier Rudy is. They are gorgeous together. Margot is enjoying big brother's attention and sense of fun.
