[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 538150, member: 11847"] Well, Partner is 6 an V is 5. So they are the same age group! Everyone actually think they are twins, but Partner is SO mature. I did and always tell Partner to watch out for his brother and for the most part I know he does. But I know I also have to remember to protect Partner. V can be such a pest to him at home. There are certain things that Partner can do for V though, things that another grown up could do but it would then single him out even more. Such as taking V's hand and walk with him to the playground when I drop them off, sit with him for breakfast and lunch, etc... and all those things can start at daycare and carry over to school. Kind of a transition buddy. I remember a time when Partner hated daycare and V was like is comforting buddy. Despite the little age difference, I requested for them to be in the same classroom (V was 2 and Partner was 3). If they were seperated, Partner would freak out. They ad to seperate very slowly and, believe me, at the time I thought V was the strong one and Partner the one who needed the attention. Back then V showed no emotions (besides anger at home) and his presence allowed Partner to eventually blossom and turn in the social little bug that he is now. As I am writing, I am actually thinking that V and Partner might be a lot more alike than I ever imagined. What if V is going through the same phase, just with a delayed reaction? It's been only 1 year since his emotions started to develop afterall (or at least being visible to the exterior world). Emotionally that would put him at a 3 year old level... probably right on the money. Today is day #2 at daycare for them together, but for now I have to go because V tells me that "Partner is not listening"! LOL An other cat fight to contain. [/QUOTE]
