Apps has a problem of attending to both the boys, especially at the same time. When one is being carried, the other will ask to carried too, "Carry two two.." they will say. Apps being easily bullied, he carries both of them together!
Wherever he goes in the house, both will follow. Champion who prefers to be carried, will make apps carry him the moment he knows apps is moving away from him. Lil' President, if not sleepy, he too will go running behind apps, to be carried.
As for me, I don't entertain their request of carrying them. Most of the time, I insist on them to walk by themselves. I have a bad back and they are not light anymore!
When I have some work to do in the kitchen and need them to play by themselves and not fuss around.. I would ask Champion to take care of lil' President. When I give him this responsibility, he feels important. He will say "Okay.." and will lead lil' President to the living room and play together.
On normal times, there would be points when they fight for the same toy and find it difficult to give in. They do end up beating, biting, pushing, throwing a toy, etc. However, during the 'responsibilty' times, I notice that Champion will not fight for a toy.. on the other hand, he would give in to his brother. How sweet..
When lil' President is up to no good, he will also be fast to tell us. I find it very helpful as I can act fast, especially when he is doing things behind my back.
Somehow, if apps try my methods, it wouldn't work. The boys know their father.. they know they can bully apps, and they cannot do the same with me ;)

hi dear! thanks for dropping by my blog every now n then. :) now that i have ur blog - i'll drop by too. :))
They are calculating well with apps and u.
In my childhood, my bro and me will be quit and helpful each other and play without fighting. If mom is there we fight for everything.
Looks like Champion likes the responsibility. That's so sweet of him acting like a small prefect to u. :)
awww hes so sweet - yeah the kids know who means business ;p
Kids are really smart and know too much these days.I think its OK for one parent to be strict and the other a little lenient.It adds a balance.
I must learn how to do that too.. the responsibility time..
I realised my hubby has the same problem, when it's him who looks after Zara, Zara is always asking him to carry, but Zara will walk when she's with me..
Now he's having problem carrying Zaria since Zaria is still a new born, I told him it's ok, he doesn't have to carry now, since he'll be carrying her from 1yr on wards.. I can do the carrying now. :P
yvy,

allyfeel,
Yeap, my little prefect. That's the only way to handle his as he is a little fussy for attention :)
visithra,
Which means they have labeled me as the mean and tough one? :(
I can see that they prefer their father for most of the things and come to me when apps is not around.. *sigh*
starry nights,
Yeap. But, when they are older, I hope they understand why am I strict, as they may question why can apps be lenient to them.. *sigh*
zara's mama,
Zara wouldn't mind it.. she will feel like a big sister!
You too? Zara bulying daddy :)
Hehehe.. Right, you do the carrying now as he will have to carry later on ;)
Imagine him carrying both together.. he will have to start building his muscles now! :)
