Mine! A First of Many Lessons In Sharing

Dear Nash,

We know you love your toys.  We love that you love your toys.  It's so fun to watch you explore, pretend play and use every toy to it's fullest potential.  Here is a tough lesson for all of us.  You must learn to share.  Trust me, I didn't like to share my things with your auntie Erinn growing up.  So much so that she was forced to use them behind my back (I forgive you sis).  When your cousin Nolan came over for his first visit, you didn't let him ride on your car, play with your trucks or jump on your trampoline.  Since you are older than Nolan, you must lead by example and show him how to share.  In return, he promises to not droll over the toys, break them, or sneak them into his mommy's diaper bag to return home to Duluth.

I promise sharing can be fun.  See how often your daddy shares his french fries with mommy?  Actually wait, he hates to do that, bad example, but he does like to share other things.  We hope with every play date you can learn this a little more.  Today, when you were playing with Jane, she let you have your way but by the end it was really sweet to see you share the play cell phone.  You'll be the biggest hit at your school if you learn these lessons sooner than later.  Until then, we'll take our time and have lots of practice.  Next victim friend will be Simon.  Let's show him how far you've come!!!

Love,

Mommy and Daddy

First Meeting, First Cousins!

I guess it's Nolan's favorite too!  This was hi-larious.  Nolan was pushing Nash away
