sharing

madelyn's favorite thing to share with mason is food. almost every time they are sitting at the table madelyn says, "should i give this to mason?" and it isn't enough to give it to him. she has to actually feed it to him. he is very willing to entertain this arrangement because it means more food for him. she loves to be his 'mothering' big sister.

she does like to share toys too. not so much 'toys' as activities. in the picture they each have one cymbal in their mouths and are cracking each other up. mason was doing it and madelyn wanted to play with him so she did the same thing. she often switches to whatever mason is doing in an attempt to get him to play with her. not to say that he doesn't copy her too.

i love that they get along so nicely. i think that they will do even better once mason can tell her when he has had enough and needs her to stop. like when they play "squish". they take turns laying on the floor while the other one gets on top, but sometimes madelyn gets a little too heavy and doesn't know that it is time to get off mason. but she is getting better at realizing that he is crying and she needs to stop what she is doing.

that's it. i think i am 'caught up' now. love.
