The Joys of Sharing

I like this series of pictures. It somewhat illustrates our every day life!
Scarlett has one of Ollie's toys, as she is going to have far more interest in his toys then vice versa.
Oliver sees she has it, then takes it away!!

My Parenting Tip of the Day:
If one kid is gonna steal a toy the other one is playing with,
make that child at least trade a toy.
So if Oliver's little sticky fingers don't like that Scarlett is playing with his fire truck,
he HAS to give her another toy if he's gonna take back the truck.

It's not ideal! We're working on Oliver asking and saying please before he takes,
but really? He's TWO. I can only expect so much.
Fortunately for us the trade method works....for now.
And Oliver is getting better at at least saying PLEASE before he takes.
