The Scream Heard Round the World

Jacob and I have been attending a playgroup that consists of a few Navy Band wives and their children. For the first time, last Thursday, we hosted the playgroup at our house. It was an unforgettable experience. Jacob, a well known and respected sharer in the nursury at church, has never had to share his toys. When he saw the other children with their hands all over his precious toys his countenance dropped and his mouth opened wide to reveal a piercing scream! He looked genuinely frightened that they were going to take his toys and never return them. His unhappiness continued for the first 45 minutes to an hour. After lunch he started to play with the others and ended up having a wonderful time. I think he wanted to take a nap with Daisy and Joy, but they had to go home and take a nap at their own house. Perhaps next time he will be a little less hesitant to share.
