Noor and I took the kids to the West Towne Mall yesterday, and decided to let them run around the play area to wear them out a bit. It is interesting watching them interact with the other children, watching Audrina play little dictator.
Archer was "adopted" by a little girl who wanted to take him home. She was about eight, and almost never left his side, holding his little hands and playing with him. All the mothers with babies ended up sitting next to us. Archer had a blast trying to chase his big sister around, but it was exhausting making sure he did not get trampled by the older children. I can tell he wants to climb on things. Oh boy.
Audrina found a nine year old boy she decided was a toy. My tiny little princess chased down, tackled, and pinned him. This was not a frail young man, either. She TACKLED him. She instinctively went for the knees. What have I done? How did this happen? Of course I made her apologize, but he thought it was cute. This does not bode well for the future. Not at all. Boys thinking it is cute when Audrina beats them up? I can only hope for the best case scenario of the teen years, which would be me making it through without a nervous breakdown.
