Finally we told her that we were the big boss and that she was the little boss. The big boss was in charge of most things, including her, and the little boss was in charge of her toys and belongings. Emily was satisfied with that for a day or so, but after that she told us that "The Little boss was in charge.
When Joe joined our Family he was content to let Emily be the boss. Emily turned her attention to him and stopped trying to boss us around as much.
Luckily The little boss phase has passed with her. Although I still find myself telling her she is not the mother every now and then.
I thought that Emily went through that stage because she was an only child for so long but, In January Josh turned Three and Once again we have a little boss at our house.
He is constantly telling (not asking) Everyone what to do right down to how many ice cubes to put in his drink. At church last week every time it was time for a prayer he would tell Emily to fold her arms. (Josh did not fold his)
His favorite thing to do is to tell dad how to play the Wii. Even if it is a game Josh has never played he always knows how to play it better than dad and sits and tells his dad what to do.
I now hear Ryan telling Josh that he is not the boss. It brings back a lot of memories. I hope his boss phase is a short one.

Hilarious. That totally reminds me of my house growing up. There were constant battles of who could tell who what to do. I typcially lost...
That is so funny and true, Hope is the boss at one, but I think if she did not scream so loud things would be different.
Ryan should be used to it because we all know I was the boss in our household, at least over Ryan!
OH, WHAT A FUN STAGE, HUH?
I love hearing little boss Josh behind us in church, it makes me smile! (And Emily is very helpful with Brooke too!)
Can't believe how BLONDE Emily's hair was!
Jaeden tells you how to get from heare to there and is learning to play chess and he knows if you make a wrong move
I loved seeing Emily as a child. She was so blonde. I can see Emily thinking she knew more than you... Josh on the other hand I haven't seen, yet. I do know, he liked to play games (especially with hymn books).
