Sharing

ml0904

Hi everyone. I have mainly been lurking, answering a few things here and there due to work but wondered how everyone's LO is doing with sharing? Vivianna cracked me up the other night. She was playing with a lid to something and DH was on the floor with her and tried to play with her. He slid the lid over between them and she gave him a horrid look and moved it back, he laughed slid it back and she grabbed it. He went to take it and she would not let go, she turned purple and threw a HUGE fit. Of course I know they have to learn to share she is just not going to do it but I was amazed at the temper tantrum that she threw. A friend told me to get the book "How to Raise the Strong Willed Child" She has quite a temper which of course she gets from DH, lol. Heaven help me as she gets older.

Aaron actually does share. He'll pick up a toy and play with it and then hand it to either me or my DH.  He's even passed one of his toys to the dog! 

But the other day we had a "play date" with my friend's 5-month-old (she's in the process of adopting her, picked her up at 3 days old, won't be final until the Fall) and he took the baby's rattle out of hand to chew on.

But he's pretty sweet about giving stuff to us sometimes?and throwing a fit if you take something away other times.

In order to get C to eat, he now gets to play with one of his baby spoons while mommy tries to jam another one, with food, into his mouth.  Yeah, that's kind of how feeding time here is at our zoo...

Anyway.. just in the past week or so, C will try to feed me with his play spoon.  It's so cute, except when he tries to jam it into my eye.   I can put my face right down next to him and say, "Feed Mommy" and he grabs his spoon and giggles and it's so friggin' cute.

Soooo, I don't know that I consider this sort of play sharing... exactly. Babies are egocentric and really don't understand sharing. When Maddie "shares" I think she is doing it for her enjoyment, not out of concern for our needs/wants, as in, "eat/have/hold this because I want you to and it will make me giggle until I want you not to, then give it back." Hehehehe, it's cute and funny and she is definately being social, which is great also. )

Sienna makes believ she's going to share. You ak her for something, she starts handing it to you with a smile on her face & last second pulls away. Little sneak.
