Sharing Tales

My boys have begun sharing with each other. Before you start saying awwww, hear me out. This is the way my boys will share: Matthew will be playing with a toy and Andrew will decide he wants to play with the toy. So Andrew crawls over and watches intently, maybe with a little whine to his voice. Matthew will offer the toy to Andrew and then immediately start crying because he wants the toy back. Andrew will then offer the toy back to Matthew and as soon as Matthew takes it, Andrew will immediately start crying. Back and forth this goes, the giver crying, the receiver happy for only a moment before he offers the toy back, and then immediately crying. This goes on and on until I can't stand it anymore and take the toy away, which makes both boys cry.

Sharing is over-rated!
