Xander! He is developing quite a personality in his second year.

I wouldn't define our parenting style as "passive" but we are dedicated non-spankers, aspiring to maintain a positive, loving environment. Regardless of our position and role modeling, Xander has a passionate personality, that responds with immediate squeals of excitement or angry hitting; nothing in between.

I've had to pull him off his older brother, in a fight over a toy. His tiny hands were slapping away at Isaac's head, and then he tried to go in for some biting.

Trying to be so big...
