What Happened??

No pictures for today but I just had to post as ask what in the world happened to my sweet little boy over the past two days?? How did he change into this rowdy aggressive punk bully brother to his sister? I was in shock yesterday when he put Cameron in a head lock over an apple!! As I was running over to unwrap his arms from around her neck he quickly overpowered her, grabbed the apple and shoved her to the ground! I know what your thinking...and yes, I do feed my children so it wasn't out of absolute starvation.

And this isn't the only incident over the past few days. I've witnessed him hitting her in the head, slapping her back and pushing or pulling her in whatever direction serves his purpose for whatever toy she has that he now wants. What happened?

My big question is where in the heck did he learn this behavior from? It's not like Young and I ever fight like that, he doesn't watch much TV unless is Thomas the Train or Sesame Street and none of his other friends seems to have such inappropriate behavior. Is it an inherent instinct you automatically assume as the older brother??? Having an older brother myself, I know all too well the bruised road Cameron has ahead of her. I'd like to think this behavior will not be allowed in our house...but I do have a finger on reality...it will only get worse. When will she start fighting back???
