At nearly 2 years old, we're really working with Drew on his sharing skills. The problem is, how do you explain that it's not so nice to share everything!
Thursday last week, Drew came down with a 24-hour stomach virus that made it's way around day care. I'll spare you the gruesome details, but needless to say we were up all Wednesday night/Thursday morning with Drew. In the middle of the night I emailed Grammy to see if she would be available to help us out on Thursday - knowing Drew couldn't go to day care (this was before I knew Ms. Stephanie had come down with the same vicious bug overnight).
Thankfully Grammy was able to step in, and Dave and I were able to go about our extremely busy days.
Then Friday night hit... Daddy was nailed by the bug. His symptoms slightly different than Drew's, but bad nonetheless. Drew did return to daycare, with only some ugly diapers (and a nice diaper rash to boot). But at least the vomiting stopped.
Friday night/Saturday morning - Grammy & Mommy get hit!
So tell me, why is it he won't share the things you want him to, but share the things you don't want him to? Is it possible for a nearly 2 year old to understand the difference? If so please shed some light because Daddy's tired of this kind of sharing (he was hit by Drew's Tonsillitis over the 4th of July too - after going 10+ years without an illness - other than a cold).
