A new mommy

So pretty sure one of my biggest source of daily stress with the kids is probably the constant fighting. It's getting better, and the peaceful sweet moments where they are playing together seem to be lasting for longer periods at a time. But it's the constant arguing over nothing, the screaming and yelling at each other, the hitting, the taking toys from each other, the crying, the tattle-tales, the taunting, the list just goes on and on and on. However, I recently discovered a new game that the kids play together wonderfully and Tayla just loves! It is nothing really groundbreaking, kids have been playing this for years but for my sweet angels, it stops ALL of the aforementioned list which pretty much equates to a miracle for me! ..... Tayla becomes Gavin's mommy. When Tayla is Gavins mommy she calls him "sweetie" and "hunny"; she tells him where to go and what to do; she gives him one of her babydolls' blankets and bottles, she brushes his hair, makes him go to bed, feeds him pretend food (usually pretend ice cream), asks him if he is stinky, puts his shoes on and takes them off, and the list goes on and on and on again. Gavin is 100% content to follow Tayla around and do whatever she tells him to because she is sweet to him and since Gavin is her "hunny" she doesn't take toys from him or ever be mean; she just loves him "because he's my sweetie, mom." Our home is a happy peaceful home when my Tayla is the mommy:)
