Raising children..

Tee Tee
Fluffy

Teetee has a new friend, Fluffy. In my opinion Teetee should be called Fluffy coz he is REALLy fluffy. Oh well, Nel's choice of names. :) Well, every evening I put both Teetee and Fluffy in an enclosed area in my little garden.

Usually the kids insist they wanna go in with the rabbits so yesterday I let them.

Well about 15 minutes passed and Nel and Jo started getting rough with each other. Being confined in a small area for a long time tends to bring out the aggression in them as they fight for space, and who gets to feed/pet which rabbit etc.

Eventually Jo gave Nel a little push and Nel reacted by pushing her back. Nel being bigger gave a rather hard push which led to howling from Jo and this led to more shoving and pushing from both parties. So I lifted Nel out of the area and told her to stand by the gate with hands crossed for a while and to think about her actions.

Then I realised well, Jo had part of this fight too. So I lifted Jo out too, who protested and cried with all her little strength. I told her to stand by the gate too with hands crossed, which she did though she had tears streaming down her eyes.

As they stood there, Nel looked and Jo, and Jo looked at Nel. Both looked funny with hands crossed over shoulders.................and then......they thought the situation funny and started laughing a little first amidst tears, and then real roll on the floor laughter! hahahahha.....

Don't they look so pitifully cute? Especially Jo with her overfull diapers? haha.... you have to see the faces with tears frowning, then smiling and eventually laughing ...hahaha...I have to admit, I started laughing myself...and in the end we just ended everything, kept the rabbits and went for our little walk in the evening breeze. :)
