Sharing

Erik is usually very good about sharing his toys with Lainey.  For his birthday he got these neat magnetic "blocks" from Grandma Kay and Papa.  Erik is really good at building things; Lainey loves these blocks just as much if not more.  She likes to stack them.  These two activities are not compatible.

Lainey is really quite hilarious.  She screams and arches her back and runs if you try to take things from her.  She is really sneaky too -- the second Erik turns his back she sneaks in and grabs the block from the structure he was building.  If he takes it back from her she acts as though a great injustice has been done to her.

Erik of course is not innocent.  If she happens to have a block that he needs he seems to have no problems yanking it out of her hands.

He should watch out though -- I really ticked Lainey off yesterday while I was trimming her nails (she hates any activity that requires her to sit still) and she took a big bite out of my arm.

Here is what happened after they spent too much time fighting over the blocks tonight and the blocks ended up in "time out"....

Victor and I were amused -- they kids clearly were not.

"Thanks" grandma and papa.  The blocks may be sent back to your house if the fighting continues -- similar to what happened to the game "Sorry" Daron and I couldn't agree on.
