LOL. Our kids are the same age.
We finally figured out that the Womb Raider was throwing Mr W under the bus. My MIL was taking her side no matter what yet it was usually when she wanted something her brother had...
The new rule is that if neither of us saw it, its her fault. After a week of this, she has nearly stopped the boo-hoo-woe-is-me act.
Mr W cannot lie and the WR is virtually indestructible physically. (At 18 mos she likes to jump off the diving board...)
They will play together for hours with Mr W occasionally coming to us to tell us she has climbed up the drapes or something like it...
Yes the babies are crafty! If we don't see it (and even if we do and it's pretty much a fair fight) I 'count' them both (we use 123 Magic). This works almost every time...almost. The 2 year old still enjoys to push it...but we make a BIG deal about her time-outs (not because she cares, but b/c we want big brother to know we'll handle it).
