"share"

Makaela has been having some issues with sharing, as most kids do. We've been working on it and with all the practicing, the word "share" has been repeated more than once. Today, when we went to the park, we brought along a soccer ball. Makaela loves to kick the ball around so we were playing when two little girls walked up to play along. Makaela instantly grabbed the ball and started to stalk off, but I told her to "share". While she didn't hand over the ball, she did kick it in the direction of the girls and we ran around the park for a while. Then a boy came to the playground. Makaela went to check him out and about a minute later, I hear her saying "share, share, share". I walk over to see Makaela trying to pry this kid's match box cars out of his hand and telling him he needs to "share". Funny that she knows what "share" means when she wants something.
