Sticks and Stones...

Well, I don't know where he got it from, but Jack has learned the art of namecalling and delights in the fits of screaming and crying that it sends his sister into. At various times during the day he will refuse to call her by her name and instead refers to her as either "doughnut" or "cookie." As you can imagine, this upsets her greatly and she starts screaming at the top of her lungs " I Sloanie, I not a doughnut/cookie." At which point Jacks laughs and continues calling her that until she is reduced to tears. I am at a total loss as to what to do about this. My first reaction is laughter, but the screaming and crying starts to get old really quickly. I think I may need to teach Jack some better names like good old "poo poo head" so that I can actually reprimand him for it and stop the torture. I love my children, I love my children, I love my children....
