Problem solved!
I really enjoy watching my kids figure out ways to solve a problem. It’s common for Little Miss Throwsafit and Littlest One to fight over toys. One toy in particular that they have a difficult time sharing is LMT’s doll stroller. LMT loves to push her babies around in it and LO loves to run into things with it. When I hear the two of them fighting, ususally it’s about this little stroller.
Well, the other afternoon, I heard the usual bickering and knew right away what it was about. I sighed and resigned myself to being the umpire once again. I gave it a few seconds before heading into the kitchen where the argument was taking place. Before I got out of my chair, though, the fighting stopped. By then I was curious to see why they weren’t yelling any more, so I went into the kitchen and found that they had solved their problem:
Isn’t that hilarious! I’m surprised the stroller didn’t collapse under Littlest One’s weight, but at least they weren’t arguing anymore. One more problem solved. Sadly, it didn’t last long. Once they were done playing with the stroller, they starting fighting over who was going to play with the toy dinosaurs.
You can’t win them all, I guess.
I have a few pictures of my girls (and my niece) pushing each other in their little doll strollers. I was amazed that those strollers survived.

That is so cute! They must make those doll strollers out of some sort of magical plastic….probably the same stuff that electronics come packages in (it is nearly impossible to get that open!)

Thanks for your comments. I had to laugh out loud when I saw them because they had been doing an awful lot of yelling before they decided that cooperation and sharing was a lot more fun.
