Ms Daisy (5 y.o.) is always begging to be picked up, while Mr J Gatsby (3 y.o.) does not like it, although he certainly does tolerate it (he is so cute you just can't help it). Gatsby is, however, quick to lie on his back for a tummy rub, but he never wants to just sit on your lap while Daisy begs for the privilege. This often presents an issue, since playing fetch with Gatsby - his favorite pastime, is not always easy with his sister on your lap. She likes fetch a lot too, but does not obsess over it! I have taught my smart boy to bring his toy closer so I can toss it while still sitting with Daisy on my lap, but he sometimes does not bring it close enough
