"Getting to know you..."

Cousin Allison came to visit Miss Sally's for a week, giving the cousins lots of happy playtime together ... mostly (note invasion of personal space and hair touching.) After about 20 minutes John's territorial issues/diva frustrations roused it's typical 2 year old head. Allison apparently did not appreciate the outburst. This incident was relayed to me later in 2 brief sentences, first by my mother's comment "It was bad ...very bad!" and then by John "Allison crying, Allison crying alot."

But by the end of the week peace reigned aided by their shared interest in reading books, making loud noises .... and the administering of many mini cupcakes!
