P the Moocher

I guess a mooching twin was bound to appear, I just thought it would appear later on. It has come to our attention that P is the mooching twin. E is the vocal one who "asks" for things and when P sees it she just joins in and gets whatever E gets. On occasion P has "asked" for a drink from her cup, but not usually.

Mooching has become an issue during cleanup/last bottle time. Cleanup time is where they put away their pots and pans in the play kitchen and put their toys in the basket before getting their bottle at the end of the day. E immediately begins cleaning up, while P hangs about and whines. Consequently, E does 99% of the work and then P still gets the bottle because we end up placing her down and handing her a toy to put away in the basket next to her. Not fair!

We just started this so hopefully enforcing it longer will let P get the hang of it. P has gotten the hang of helping put away dishes from the dishwasher so there is hope!
