As we were getting him ready for bed tonight, we were reminding Finn that his buddy Hayden is coming over to play tomorrow morning. The big focus of the conversation was whether and which toys he would share with Hayden. Finn is in his toddler prime the moment another kid wants to play with one of his toys. "Mine!" he shouts and grabs it away, even though he drops it a few seconds later and plays with something else. Oh my!
He seemed to be able to deal with the idea of sharing his books with Hayden, but not sure about letting Hayden use his cars, trucks, and trains. Then, just as I was about to sing and put him to bed, Finn said, "share trucks with Hayden." So we talked for a minute about how Hayden could have the green truck and he could have the white one. Then he said, "Finley white truck." So I suggested Hayden have the green one. "Hayden blue one." Really warming up the idea, Finn was settling down in his crib and said, "Share bed with Hayden." I probably shouldn't tell her parents about that comment!
