So, Naomi has become super concerned with what Maya is doing. If Naomi has her water, she insists that Maya also have her water (even if she doesn't want it). Same with her lovey, or a snack, or an activity (like swinging). What do you think I should do? It's kinda generally bossiness, but it's also sweet, like she wants to make sure Maya is ok, and has everything that's coming to her, all the time.
It really is sweet. The only problem is that she is ridiculously insistent. Example: Naomi decided Maya needs 3 puzzle pieces. Naomi: Maya puddle pieces, please. Maya: *ignores* Naomi: MAYA PUDDLE PIECES, PLEASE!!" Maya: *feeds Elmo a cracker* Naomi: *epicmeltdown*

Aw Maybe she's the nurturer?
When she's old enough to understand I'd just be gracious that she's so caring, but let her know that her sister might not want to do this or that right now. She might out grow it too?

Aww! My little cousin was kind of like that with sharing. He wanted to share whatever he had with whoever he was with, whether you wanted it or not. I don't really know that there's anything to be done about it.
