Sharing

I guess kids learn things pretty quick when you tell them something. And my little story for today proves that! We had Tolson (he just turned 2) over playing yesterday with us for a little while and he and Brady always play pretty well together. Brady saw his little snack bowl sitting on top of the island in the kitchen and was trying to reach it but couldn't quite.
So I said "Brady do you want a snack?" He nodded yes and I got it down for him.
Then I told him "OK, but you need to share some with your friend."
He proceded to go into the kitchen and open the only non-baby-proofed cabinet and get out one of my metal mixing bowls. (We left it un-baby-proofed on purpose because he loves playing with all the big bowls and lids. This is also the cabinet he empties out and likes to hide in!)
After he had the big metal bowl out he started dumping some of his cheerios from his little bowl into the big bowl to share with Tolson. How funny is that??? Only about 6 cheerios ended up in the bowl at first. But as soon as Tolson saw there was food in the bowl and they could dump more in there, they both had fun dumping the whole snack bowl into the big metal bowl and eating out of the same bowl. It was too cute! Here are some pictures I snapped while they were having fun. (BTW-do you like Brady's bed head? Some days I cannot get his hair to lay flat on top!)
