Passive Aggressive 2 Year Old?

Brooke loves to sing. She sings all day, and all night. She sings songs from school, old nursery rhymes, and a lot songs she makes up herself. She sings herself to sleep at night, and sings when she wakes up. She also loves to sing to her brother. When he is crying in the back of the car, we always suggest she sing to him as a way to get her involved. (It actually DOES work sometimes).

When he is sleeping, or falling asleep, she loves to sing to him. Her pick to put him to sleep is always "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". I asked her to sing it for me, and here she is ... all nice and sweet and gentle.



This is where I think she might be displaying a bit of passive-aggressive activity. When Ryan is sleeping, or falling asleep, she sings this song. BUT, she sings it at the top of her lungs. I'd say she actually screams it. She loves her brother, I have no doubt. But I do think her screaming might be a tiny little way she gets back at him for stealing a bit of her thunder ;)
