The girls have started to want and take each other's toys. Though Jojo is crying in this video, don't feel sorry for her because she can handle herself. Sometimes they play intercept all over the living room floor trying to what the other has.
Try dealing with this when one of them is 15! At least when they're both babies you kind of expect them to not always share. My teenager still has a tendency to take his little brother and sister's stuff just to make them cry. Now THAT one makes me mad!! Talk about resisting the urge to run in and yell, "Juan, what did you do to Emily?!" (Especially since Emily has learned to set him up!) I think, ideally, you want to let them work it out, but it's hard when one of them really should know better but doesn't act right. Sigh.
Oh, brilliant Izzy! And she was sooo playing to you, wasn't she? Almost distracted herself with the table/toy and then looked at you and was off again! Soph uses crying like this, knowing Im too likely to come steaming in, remove toy from Em (often guilty of nicking it off her a moment before, but not always....) and give her what she wants! Trying to be careful there - must remember to always say "Em, whys Soph crying?" rather than "EMMA, WHAT DID YOU JUST DO TO SOPHIE?!?!" Seeing the video of your two just reminded me of the Toddler Property Law, so I just Googled it and added it to my Blog - always makes me laugh!
Funny you mentioned about Jojo always looking up at me to "play it up". She's been doing that lately. Katie just cries, but Jojo puts both her hands on her face and cries like it's the end of the world. It's so funny! I try not to always run to her to get her out of it.
When it comes to Matty, I do the "what did you do Matty?" too. I have to catch myself when I do that as well.
oh yes. We were in church once and only brought 2 toys (one for each of them) and sure enough they kept taking what the other hand. They did that for so long too.. it was so funny.
isnt it funny ....children can have so many toys but still choose to zoom into one and play a tug of war game! well here's the answer - Mirrors, mirrors and more mirrors...line your walls with them, every inch and even the ceilings..promblem solved.....give them more then on visual angle...lol
My son is 3 and still in this "mine" phase. But when he was young, I only got to see it when he was with other kids. With the twins, I get to see it everyday. Oh boy...
