Well, she is an only child...


Julia 'tuding it up

At least for now.

Over the weekend we took Julia to Summer's birthday. There were two other children there, Summer & Merr's little boy, Camden, and the 1 year old son of some other friends of ours. Normally Julia really enjoys being around the boys. She laughs at their rough play, she babbles back at them when they talk to her, she smiles at them as they take her toys away.* But this weekend something changed. She had been playing with a ring of plastic keys. This time, instead of it being stolen, she threw it and started gumming on some other toy. Well, the boys picked up the keys and took them to an adult, and the adult started shaking the keys for the boys. Well, Julia heard those keys rattle, and her head whips around and she zeros in on those keys and starts screaming. She wanted those keys back, and she wanted them back immediately!

I guess we need to work on the concept of sharing a little earlier than we expected.

*wouldn't you know it, a whole room of toys for toddlers, and the boys are only interested in the handful of infant toys we bring for Julia!
