Big Sister




Olivia is a great influence on her brother and sister.  They imitate her constantly, maybe involuntarily.  In return, she threatens to put them in jail for taking her toys and not sharing/giving their own to her.  But since they are up in a bigger kid room at school now, and maybe because she will be leaving their school soon, she is more protective of them too.   In the picture at top, she models good behavior at the dentist, getting xrays.  She was as nervous as they were, and had never had them before, but had to maintain the big sister role and be brave and knowledgeable.  Pretty typical stuff.  In truth, I think she is starting to appreciate them more because they can play with her in a more active and mature way.  At times I think Henry is more like Olivia than Audrey, in his sensitivity, performance ability, extremely loud voice, desire for attention, but the lower picture would seem to show Audrey as the more...theatrical?  Maybe they all give as good as they get?  I look forward to collecting more data.
