E and R have been practicing to be great little mothers recently. They amaze me. The boys are BOYS they don't put their babies to sleep and make sure they have a pillow, blanket, have either gotten a clean bum or gone to the bathroom and gotten a lecture about having 'a good sleep so you will get a treat.' If the boys play with babies at all they are fighters with weapons or people who need rescuing or some such thing. R loves to feed her baby and sits him up, gets a spoon and a bowl and spoon feeds him.. not just a little. That kid is FULL. Regularly we see a girl running around with a baby doll up under her shirt. That baby is either nursing or she's 'gonna have a baby and it's still in her tummy.'
I find that they do everything that I do with Baby J and stuff I do with them as well. Both of my girls have toilet trained their baby, sleep trained their baby and taught their baby to 'eat nice.' They get them dressed, change their bums, bath them, carry them around talking to them, play with them and discipline them. It's amazing to watch.
