Jack was over at Grandma's house this past weekend for an overnight stay while Mommy and Daddy enjoyed a night out. Grandma invited Jack's cousin, Sierra over because Sierra absolutely adores Jack. She's 4 but it's almost like Jack is the older kid and she is following him around and looking up to him. She's very sweet with him and I feel bad that Jack really doesn't give her the time of day but he doesn't really play with other kids yet. He'll be in their presence but he plays next to them rather than with them. I've read that this is pretty typical and I guess they don't start truly play with other kids until a little later.
Anyway, Sierra was enjoying Grandma's so much that she asked to stay overnight. Before bed, Grandma started to read the kids some of the books I had packed. Jack picked out his ladybug counting book, as counting is one of his new favorite things, and they all snuggled up on the bed. Apparently he was holding the book and Sierra snatched it out of his hands (Sierra likes Jack but right now she doesn't like him as much as she dislikes sharing.) He didn't cry, he just reached over and tried to touch the book. Sierra pushed his hand away. So Jack said, "Down" and started scooting himself off the bed. Once he got to his feet, he walked over and ripped the book out of Sierra's hand, walked over to his Grandma and said, "Up!"
He's come a long way. A few months ago, he bawled his eyes out when Sierra kept taking his toys away from him. It's good to see him fighting back!
