The influence of older brother and sisters has its pros and cons for the two year old in our home.

Pros:

"Mom, I lub you."

"Edie, I lub you."

"Mom, you ook bootiful!"

Cons:

"Mom, you're stupid."

"Mom, I pooomise I will!" 

"Mom, I need a dandaid for my owie."

Bum shakes

I'd love to say the pros outweigh the cons on this one, seeing as we can't exactly dispose of the offenders in this case--but you see the evidence before you.
