Today started out as a classic example of the dynamics between my three daughters.
Camille woke up first, as usual. After she ate breakfast, she accompanied me in my efforts to wake Madeleine up for school. Camille sat on the bed, patting Madeleine’s head and chatting delightedly at her. Madeleine didn’t move or respond at all.
Elodie, sleeping in another room, woke up due to the noise in Madeleine’s room. She walked in, wrapped tightly in her blanket and feeling groggy. Camille slithered off the bed and ran to Elodie, delighted to see her other sister. Camille tried to hug Elodie, but Elodie pushed her away and yelled, “Leave me alone!”
Elodie ran to the corner for refuge, but Camille pursued, still trying to hug Elodie. Elodie kept resisting, and so Camille resorted to plan B—attack. Elodie was leaning against an inflatable Dora mattress, and Camille attempted to smother Elodie with it. This continued, Camille delighted by her efforts to torment Elodie, when suddenly Madeleine emerged and toppled the mattress on top of both little sisters.
Just another morning with the sisters.

Oh my. Poor Camille getting all her love and affection rejected.
I wish she was here. I would love to hug her first thing in the morning. Of course, I might try hugging the other two as well and would no doubt annoy them as much as Camille.
