Keeley has gotten in the habit of taking Kayden's toys from her. I know this is totally age appropriate, but it is still sad. After several times of being told to be nice to her sister, that Kayden was playing with the toy first, that Keeley needed to find another toy, etc. Keeley developed a new strategy - replace the toy she is stealing.
Here's how it has played out until today. We put Kayden down and give her a toy. Keeley decides she wants the toy. Keeley tries to take the toy from Kayden only to be reminded that it isn't hers. Keeley then goes and looks for another toy and gives it to Kayden. This is frequently a very uneven trade. Today, for example, Kayden was playing with the magnetic barn from the dishwasher and Keeley wanted it so she gave Kayden some green string and then moved away to play with the barn by herself.
This usually works. Today, however, Kayden learned to crawl. Look out big sister! Kayden is going to chase you down now!
