Jaden and I went to the park the other day. There were a few kids there, some older some younger, playing on the slides. Their moms said Hi and when Jaden showed interest in one of their kids toys, they said that it was o.k. for Jaden to play with it. WELL! We're having trouble sharing these days. Jaden's toys are his toys, if another kid has a toy that looks like one of his toys...it's Jaden's toy, if it looks cool and fun to play with ...it's Jaden's toy. And apparently this "duck on a stick" is popular with the 2 and under crowd. Jaden kept saying, "Ducky", "Ducky" and carried it around (he couldn't get it to roll on the mulch) and even took it on the slide. Smart kid really! He knew if he set it down, one of the other kids would get it. =] After 15 minutes of this I had to explain to him that it was this other kids turn to play with it. He threw a fit and promptly marched over to the jogger stroller and tried to get in - his way of letting me know he's ready to be taken home. So funny.
Ducky!
Taking the duck on the slide
We're going to keep working on this sharing stuff. I certainly don't want Jaden to be know in the neighborhood as "that kid". =]
