I have a cousin whom my parents adopted, not legally, but they are the ones who took care of him since he was two months old. Also, I have a cousin whom I treated like my sister, but I never had a 100% sibling. With that said, I had no idea what sibling rivalry is. Yes, my cousins and I would have our fights, but everyone fights right?

I would like to share what happened yesterday and today.

Yesterday, as I arrived home from work, my son welcomed me with a hug (as usual) but then our helper approached me and said, “Hannah and Hector had a fight.” She then pointed to me the mark of their fight.

My poor little one. Then, I saw my daughter. She have some marks on her as well.

I know both of them fight, but this was the first time they have injuries because of it. I keep on telling Hannah (age 4) not to fight with her brother Hector (age 2) because she is the older one, I expect she follows my order. Hannah, had a hard time following instructions, in fact she does what she is told not to do.

I had my long sleep this morning, and when I woke up the afternoon, I was shocked to see the face of my son. New wound!

I immediately asked the helper what happened and she told me while she was preparing for the milk, Hannah got a hold of Hector and had an accident.

I do not know what to do with this. Either I believe it was an accident, or she intentionally got back on her brother because she had 2 scars on their previous fight and Hector only had 1.

However, I should tell you Hannah is always on her brothers side. Whenever my Mom would discipline Hector, Hannah would be in front of her and saying, “You’re bad Lola Mommy, why are you shouting at Hector,” and Hector does the same thing, or he would just cry when Hannah is being disciplined and crying. They love each other, want proof? Here are the pics I shot today, after seeing those fresh wound on Hector’s face.

Don’t you just love it when kids act like this?
