Sharing



Sharing isn't always easy.  Cairo and Jonah are working their way through things.  Sometimes we have to intervene and sometimes we just let them work it out on their own.  I am not too worried that Cairo will plow over Jonah.  He's pretty vocal and will try and push his way to what he wants.  The term mine is becoming more common coming from Jonah's mouth.  He's also not beyond tackling Cairo or Xander to get a toy. 

I was watching the kids interact and it just struck me as funny.  It didn't seem so long ago that this was Heather and I or Danny and I.  I grabbed the camera and tried to tape it for my own nostalgic purposes.  One play piano and each kid wants it all to themselves.  In the end, they both had their chance to play with it.


Sometimes the kids struggle, at other times they do a great job, and sometimes it's a little over kill... as in they want to share everything whether the other one wants it or not.  Jonah is often seen running after Cairo with her blanket and water bottle screaming Sissy! and thrusting these items at her.  She will set them down and he will just pick them up and chase after her again.
