Interesting article on the importance of roughhousing for kids. This makes me feel a little better about Relia's insistence on messing with DF. Right now she wants to bump him around when he's walking. Often he doesn't even understand that she did something, simply that he's being knocked over.
Part of me is frustrated by this but I try to remember that my siblings and I were pretty rowdy with each other. At some point he'll probably be bigger and more aggressive than she is too. I imagine the bumping will stop sometime before then.
Let me be clear, mostly she gets along pretty well with him. In fact, I'm amazed at how often she works to make him smile and laugh.
