Jaslyn has been a bit difficult of late. I think it's because she is starting to feel a slight bit resentful of the attention we are giving to Jason. This is of course perfectly understandable – she used to be the centre of our Universe, but with Jason around, our attention is now divided.

Also, she is actually rather fond of her little brother; she always tries to hug him or holds his hands. Sometimes, she will pry his hands open to help him hold on to a shaker or tambourine. However, she might exert too much force (completely unintentional of course) and we would tell her not to do it. There have also been a few times when we ask her to not disturb the baby when he is sleeping, but she will inadvertently do something that will startle him. And after telling her a few times to be mindful of Jason, our patience tends to run out and we will start admonishing her.

It's been rather stressful. As Jaslyn becomes more difficult, the need to give her more attention (so that she will not become more jealous of her brother) increases, which results in less time for Jason. Guess we will just have to pray for more wisdom and patience in raising the kids.
