Demand, demand, demand...

It's been interesting having four kids around the house.  Every time you turn around, someone needs something.  Andrea and I have noticed lately though that it's the opposite of what you would think.  Alivia and Tyler (the younger ones) obviously can't do things by themselves so they need the usual.  Then there is Isabel and Zac who are 4 and 3.  You would think they would be pretty easy at this age but that would be incorrect!  I cannot believe how demanding kids this age can be!  I don't know if this is simply a normal stage or if they are feeding off of each other but it is exhausting!!!  Every time we turn around they are demanding something.  I guess the most tiring part is that it sounds like this:  "Can I have..?"  "Get me some..."  "I want that!"  They certainly know how to be polite but it just does not occur to them to ask for things that way.

On a cheery note though, the pretend play is really blossoming in Zac.  It's great for him to have Isabel here to play with!  They come up with their own situations and characters and it is SO funny to see the differences between boys and girls.  Isabel is into everything Princess' and Zac is into everything Cars!  So they manage to play together in an imaginary world full of Princess', cars, and random characters from Disney and PBS shows!
