Even when we are alone at our house, she'll hold on to a toy so that, her words, "No one will take it."
We were at playgroup today and she had three screaming fits because someone decided to play with a toy that she had put on the ground.
How do you explain to a 2.5 year old that if something is laying on the ground, it's fair game? If it's not in your hand, then you are not playing with it?
Sigh.
When I say screaming, I mean it was like an "I've just seen Freddy Kruger" type of scream. The scream is then followed by crying.
I guess this is all part and parcel of learning how to share.
I just wish that she could figure out if someone takes the toy on the floor next to her that there are, like, a million other toys right near by to play with.
I've had a rough day. I guess Katie has too. We needed a break.
Thank you, Mr. Nap for saving my sanity!
