SHARING IS FUN! was the theme of today.  For many months we have been trying to convince  Adam that it is actually ok to share.  He has been pretty good about "other people's stuff" but his toys, books, gear, room and his brother are sacred.  Not only does he not let anyone touch these, but he is visibly annoyed even when someone just looks at his stuff.  Today was a big breakthrough.  On the way to playground Mommy put down the rules: "we will either share your favorite robot ball, or the ball has to stay in the car."  Adam had a long time to think this through and at the end decided to give it a try.  They took the ball out and immediately a little boy approached him.  After the encouragement from Mommy, Adam played soccer and catch with the little boy and actually HAD FUN!  Way to go Adam.

No news on the Oliver front.  Maybe just a few more bunny hops this morning...
