Spin Chairs

Ok, so no one warned me of the battles over toys between kids after Christmas. We weren't home for even a couple hours and the kids were fighting over toys, particularly the spin chair Grandpa Long bought Jonathan for Christmas. Diana would want to be in it and just bully her way in. At first Jonathan thought it was cute and would spin her and was doing a really good job sharing. Then Diana started getting a little too mean about it and would push or kick Jonathan out of the chair. This continued all week, I felt like I was a referee most of the week. While I was cooking dinner Friday night, the kids were fighting over the chair again, Diana was pushing Jonathan out of it when Brad walked in from work. I told Brad it had been like this all day and he took Diana out of the chair and she had a major meltdown. That is the most upset I have seen her, we all know she is feisty so it's not like I haven't seen her get mad before. Saturday morning we were talking about our day and I mentioned the idea of getting another chair. In the back of my mind, I was thinking, if they have their own chairs, maybe they will stay off my new furniture. Both Brad and I were at our wits ends with the kids over the chair and to my surprise Brad came home with another one. The biggest smile came across Diana's face and Jonathan was super excited as well, I wonder why?!? Ever since this second chair came into our house, life has gotten better. They each have their own spin chair, they take their floor pillows Nana made them in the chairs with them, they hide/play in their spin chair and all are happy. I think these chairs might be the favorite present from Christmas, they are in them all day! And Daddy has a new best friend! Seriously, since he came home with this chair it has been Daddy, Daddy! constantly to the point where I think I have already lost my little girl to Daddy!
