Mama is really starting to over use a few phrases like, "Audrey, she's having a turn, can you find something different to play with?" or "Audrey, can you share?" I'm not sure what all of this is about, but I know that I get very stressed when I see one of my toys in someone else's hands. "That toy never looked so good until someone else started playing with it," I think to myself. I see them in a new light and I just want to grab them. But mama always seems to be right there reminding me to wait my turn and share. Bah!
I was happily shaking two pink maracas today until I saw Haven shaking an orange one and a green one. It looked like she was having lots more fun so I lunged for her maracas. Mama reminded me that she was having a turn and I should play with the ones I had. Haven shared the orange one with me anyway... by chucking it at me. Mama thanked her for sharing and reminded her to be gentle. Then she chucked the green one at me. Then she crawled towards me and took all four of them back! This seems much more productive than mama's idea of "waiting for my turn" so I returned the favor and swiped them all back from Haven.
I think Haven was impressed with the fact that I'm getting big enough to "fight" back and we played like sisters for the rest of the evening.
No memorial day pics... having too much fun to bring out the camera I guess!
