Sharing With a Three Year Old

Tweet

Our three year old granddaughter has been having a vacation with Grandma and Grandpa for the last nine day. She was quite sick with a cold the first two days and now just has the sniffles. Her energy is unflagging. Her reasoning convoluted and entertaining. She is a great negotiator, who has the ability to capitulate when she sees the advantage. She has been dragged hither and yon as we have taken Opa (her great grandfather) to appointment after appointment. She has missed naps, has thrown the odd hissy fit, but in general been one loveable, huggy, kiss you, little girl. There is one thing she sometimes has trouble with. That is sharing. She is used to being number one. She has had no problem sharing her cold. My nose is streaming as I sneeze and cough my way through the day. Tomorrow, she goes home with her mommy and daddy. The house will be neat (no toys or books spread throughout the house) and it will be quiet. We will miss her early morning chatter and her constant questions.p
