It's hard to be Stanley

Sometimes it's hard to be Stanley. The relationship between Stanley and his older sister is evolving. He's becoming much more interesting to her as he is very intelligent and engaging and on the verge of crawling. On the other hand, this encroaches upon Lyla's space.
She enjoys him most of time, plays with him and loves to make him laugh- but sometimes she struggles with control issues.
Yesterday, Lyla had a major melt down because Stanley was holding a plastic corn cob. She went into full emotional collapse and couldn't be comforted. Katie, Gaga and I all just gave a collective sigh and waited for the storm to pass.

Lyla's sad evening

Katie reports Lyla is sad tonight at their new house. I think maybe Lyla just wants to be sad and can't decide why. At first she told Katie that she was sad because Pop Pop and Gaga were going bye bye. Well, we aren't. Actually Kris just took her to the mall today and I saw her for a little bit this morning. We've been talking about going to visit Liam and I suspect she overheard us.
At any rate, Katie just sent a video that has Lyla saying she's sad because of a (non-existent) bug that's naughty.
