Free Entertainment with Dinner

Byron and I thought we were so smart. When we made the big "bedroom" switch for the girls (moved Holland to her own room downstairs and put Reese in with Greer), we thought it would give Greer a chance to step up and be a leader. Greer is our typical middle child: sweet, sensitive and constantly kow-towing to whatever Holland wants. Just to give you a little insight into her personality-- when Greer got shots at the doctors office, she saved her lollipop and sticker to give to her big sister, Holland. In short, Greer idolizes Holland.
Well the big switcheroo hasn't been the successful experiment we had hoped for. Greer wants to sleep downstairs with Holland and Reese and Greer have been scrappin' each night.
So at dinner, we were talking about trying to get along better and told the girls that Greer-- since she is now the oldest in the room, is the boss.
Reese immediately sat up tall and jamming her thumb into her chest announced in a loud, bold voice (several times) "No, I'm the boss, I'm the boss"!!!
Poor Greer just sat there.
Aye, yai, yai!
I pity whoever ends up marrying Reese, the alpha female of our pack.

Well, we want Greer ... just not sure who to pair her with ... Nate would dominate, she & Zack would get nothing done. I guess that leaves Eli! :)
