(Not) sharing

Ben is really struggling with sharing. Today after his nap I suggested some more "brother" pictures. But as you see there was no room on the rocking chair for Cameron.
Cameron didn't mind!

The last 3 nights I've put Cameron in the bath with Ben. Ben throws a fit to start with but then once Cameron is in he has great fun washing him with the cloth. I was confused but realised tonight that Ben is very anxious about the thought of Cameron getting in the bath while the toys are out. Once the toys are packed away (Ben does this at high speed) then he's fine. So I guess the solution is to get Cameron his own toys and maybe Ben will realise that sharing has its benefits. Maybe not.

Today too in the garden Ben threw a real fit when Ayelen (18 month old girl) tried to use some of his toys. To my standard "We need to share, Ayelen came to visit so we need to be nice and share" he kept saying "I dont want Ayelen to be here". He was being bad so I started down the "Well you can go inside then by yourself" path and eventually he was being so bad I had to actually put him inside (he also refused to let me put sunscreen on). After a big crying fit (and a pee pee) he was fine and said "Ok I'll go out and play with Ayelen but I wont be nice". I said "You wont go outside until you're nice" and he replied with "Ok I'll just be nice but just a little bit".
