Possession...

'Paxton is probably becoming increasingly possessive about things that belong to him. Welcome to the "mine" stage! As Paxton becomes more self-aware, proclaiming ownership becomes his way of asserting his identity. To make it easier for Paxton to share his toys when a friend comes to play, help him decide what he wants to share and what needs to be put away. It will be a while before Paxton understands the concept of sharing, but setting boundaries will help him learn that there are things he may choose to share with playmates and other things he may decide to keep all for himself. The items that aren't to be shared should be put away and not brought out until after the playmate has left.'


Luckily have not witnessed this yet...but am sure it is right around the corner .
