Sometimes when I’m playing with Dylan I get a flash of the
future and I’m not so sure how I feel about it. Yesterday during playtime I was
on the floor giving kisses to a stuffed wiener dog when Dizbaby lunged at me
and ripped it out of my hands. WHOA DUDE! I thought (hoped) he was jealous that
I was kissing on something other than him, but when he snatched away a toy guitar
too, it was obvious that he just doesn’t care to share. I put my best parenting
hat on and began pushing the guitar buttons, “I want to play too! Let’s share!”
I said. Dylan looked at me like I was crazy and crawled away with the guitar in
tow.
And I get it- Dizbaby wants to play with whatever I’m playing
with. Everything piques his interest these days and he takes note when I’m giving
something special attention. But he doesn’t just want to play with what I’m
playing with, he wants to take it away and forbid me from touching it again. What
a rude baby! I have zero tolerance for selfish children and though I don’t want
to be a mean mommy, I won’t accommodate a toy hog. So of course I crawled to
Dylan and his guitar and began playing with the buttons until a song started
playing. I clapped my hands to the music and wiggled around in excitement until
the song finished. Dizbaby looked on half-amused before losing all interest and
ditched me and the toy for the other side of the room. He may not know it yet
but we’re going to be best of friends...right?
