Sharing is synonymous with drama in our house, but there are times when sharing is not so good. Here are a few of examples...
Now we're really working on taking turns and waiting until the other person is done with something we want. Yesterday, Josie picked a scab on her knee and it was bleeding like crazy, so I stuck a band aid on it. Later in the day she asked me to take it off. Katie's response "my turn! I need it!"
Thinking of band aids, once at school a student fell and was bleeding during recess. When he approached me, I told him he would need to find a friend and go to the office to get a band aid. Another student standing nearby ripped on off of his leg and said, "Here, he can have one of mine!"
At breakfast this morning I gave the girls a plum. Josie ate all of her half and Katie's was almost gone (as in, she was putting the last of it in her mouth). Josie asked for more, but I told her that it was all gone. Katie opened her mouth, pulled out her last bite and handing it to Josie said, "I share! You can have it Josie!"
Lately we've been struggling with allergies, which means lots of runny noses. Last night when the girls were giving goodnight kisses Katie was bit snotty. Josie went to give her a hug and a kiss, then said "Yucky, Katie! Don't share your boogers!"
I would love to hear how nicely your children share, so please share in the comments with the rest of us!
Well I don't know if this counts as sharing... I think it was actually Levi taking back what was rightfully his. On Levi's 4th birthday, Kelly stuck her fingers in his cake and stole some frosting. Levi proceeded to run over to her and lick the frosting off her fingers.
