So Molly loves sharing (especially food). She still struggles w/ the toddler selfishness. If you've ever had a playdate you know that. ;) However if you've hung out w/ us for any long period you also know that she can be a pretty aggressive sharer. I think Holly can vouch for this. Molly spent one egg hunt running after Holly trying to give her eggs even though Holly didn't want them. :-P
Intro done. :) So today Molly got a really special treat. It's like her favorite snack ever. (Auntie Anne's fruit snacks) She was having fun sharing her treat w/ me & then she told me she wanted to share some w/ daddy. I told her I couldn't hold onto the treat for daddy but she could save him the last one if she wanted. So I gave her a choice that she could either eat them all or save one for daddy. Now I'm pretty sure that the reason Molly likes to share food so much is b/c it hasn't really sunk in that when she gives food away that means less food for her. So today was maybe the first time she really had to choose between sharing a treat w/ daddy & eating that treat herself. First she said "I eat them all!". Then she said "I share one w/ daddy!". It was a really hard choice & remember this is like her favorite treat. So she made it to the last one ... She decided on a compromise. She ate most of the last treat but saved daddy the tiniest portion possible. It's so cute. There is the tiny sliver of a fruit snack wrapped & waiting for daddy on our kitchcn counter. :)
