Ok so the title is harsh. River (10.5mo) is starting to walk, and has been cruising and crawling for a while. Of course he wants to be into everything Joshua is doing. If he's coloring, he's grabbing paper, crayons. If Joshua is stacking blocks, River is knocking them over. If Joshua has a ride on toy, River wants to push it. And Joshua hates it! River gets within 2 feet of him, Joshua starts yelling "no River NO!" and will push him away. I'll sit down and play with River to occupy him so Joshua can play, then Joshua gets mad that I'm not playing with him. I'll try to get both of them to play with me and it ends up with a pushing shoving match to who can get closest to mommy. no playing involved. I'm so frustrated that the baby is not even 1 and I can't get them to play nicely.
Both boys are just normal for their age, I don't doubt that. But what can I do? The only time Joshua is a happy camper is when I'm one on one with him (River is either on my back or sleeping in his bed).
