Today I had the honor of staying in the house all day with 4 of our little ones.  I have to say it was a hectic morning but in a good way.  When the sibling rivalry finally got to me I separated our two youngest, Luis and Faviola.  The two of them can't seem to be in the same room without pinching, biting or scratching each other.  I brought Faviola into my bedroom and left Luis in my living room and I stayed in the doorway watching them both. Faviola's attention was quickly grabbed by a full length mirror and the little playmate that was inside of it.  I watched Faviola begin to interact with her reflection, talking to her showing her the contents of her purse etc... Periodically she would put her hand behind the mirror to see if she could touch the little girl.  She offered the little girl a glass of water but she would not take it.  At one point Faviola had to go to the bathroom and asked the little girl to go with her.  Faviola took 4 steps away from the mirror and turned to see that the little girl had not followed her.  She walked back to the mirror, "Come on" she said and walked away again.  The little girl still did not follow.  Finally Faviola threw her hands up in frustration, "Fine.  Wait here.  I have to go to the bathroom."  I finally explained to Faviola that the little girl in the mirror could not leave the mirror that she had to stay in there.  Faviola sat back down and continued to have a tea party with her new friend.
