Sometimes brother's are just mean

Elizabeth is sporting a nasty black eye (the picture doesn't do it justice). Lately Harrison has taken a lot of pleasure in hitting her in the eye (his Little People train being his latest weapon of choice) or pushing her down. I don't know how to get through to him; he tells me with pride when he pushes her down, etc. No form of punishment seems to make him stop (I haven't tried water boarding but I'm pretty sure I would get reported for that). Any ideas (short of hovering over him 24 hours a day)?

In my continued effort to teach fiscal responsibility, we implemented a chore system for Harrison with a chart and associated pay. He did really well. He likes earning his stickers and doesn't seem to mind the chores either. At the end of the week, I paid him his allowance/fees/commission/whatever you want to call it.

For now I am teaching him to divide his money as follows: 10% charitable donations, 20% long term savings (aka college--and trust me, he gets that. Whenever I mention college, he runs into our room and points at the diplomas on the wall and explains how he will get a diploma but "not yet" as he likes to say. Now whether he thinks he just has to save his money to BUY one or actually go to school to earn it, well, that's a different issue), 20% short-term savings (for now this is a jar with a picture of Mickey Mouse on it representing a trip to Disneyland), and 50% spending money--he can blow that on whatever he wants. Eventually I will let him determine how he spends his money but probably not until he's at least 30, or 50--we'll see (you're not blaming this mom for your financial blunders!). He put his spending money in one of my old wallets and proudly carries it around. He eagerly took his wallet to CVS yesterday and spent 10+ minutes at the candy counter trying to determine what to pick. I guess he has a little bit of Grandma Lue in him because he went for the licorice in the end (he sure doesn't get that from me). I asked him if the candy tasted a little better knowing that he earned the money for it and he dutifully answered "yes" but didn't sound too convincing.

Both kids are suffering from yucky colds but are in the recovery phase (I think). Ellie is learning some great dance moves from Harrison and loves to spin in circles. Her favorite move (after spinning) is rolling her arms patty-cake style. We have a budding prima ballerina on our hands I think.
