"My turn" is the new "mine"
Because Fuller's life has become more social, we have been trying to reinforce the social skill of sharing. A while back Damon was doing something with Fuller where they would take turns. As they went back and forth, Damon would say, "My turn. Fuller's turn. My turn. Fuller's turn."
After a bit Fuller seemed to understand and would say, "My turn. Daddy's turn. My turn." It was such a sweet moment to witness.
Well in the synapses of Fuller's toddler brain, he has morphed this lesson in sharing to a new way to announce something is his. Now, instead of saying "Mine!" he shouts "My turn!"
Social skills still need some work.
That is so true for my oldest too. I remember teaching him the "taking turns" lessons...so when he wanted something he would take it and just say "my turn"...or tell someone that their turn is over. Toddler minds...
