It is always amazing to see these two little 18 month old humans practicing a concept that many adults have not fully grasped -- sharing. In our household, it is a necessity. Often times, the sharing is motivated from wanting what the other person has - for instance, Abigail will see that she likes the book that Sydney is reading; she will find a toy or book to replace Sydney's book, force the new book into Sydney's lap, and quickly snatch the book that she wants. Most of the time, both sides recognize the game and are happy to oblige - other times we have a tug of war that never has a pretty ending. In the above pictures, Abigail is sacrificing a portion of her precious sweet potatoes for her sister, who had gobbled all of hers up. Of course, they are not perfect - from what we have witnessed, sharing with other kids needs fine tuning.
