Sibling Rivalry

It was a cold and rainy day today, but the boys had a soccer game this afternoon. So it was a girls day in to stay warm. The boys are playing soccer together for the first time this year and the inevitable finally happened. Jaxon told Dylan how much better he was than him at soccer. As a parent I realize what a dilemma that creates so I focused on telling them what things they are individually good at. Dylan has great footwork and is a very good passer when he wants to be. Jaxon is very fast and plays outstanding defense. I told them that we would see who scored more goals and we would see who had a better day. Wouldn't you know they both scored a goal today and played very evenly. If only I could get this competition to transfer over to something constructive like cleaning their room.
