"Mine!, Mine!, Mine!..."

Do you remember that scene from Finding Nemo where the birds are all after the same fish and are all saying "Mine, Mine, Mine, Mine" over and over? That is what it sounds like sometimes around our house these days. Aden has entered the stage of thinking everything is his. When Wiley even reaches for one of the 20 or so toy cars Aden has scattered around the house, you hear the familiar phrase, "No, Wiwey, Mine." Even Wiley's toys are sometimes thought of by Aden as "Mine." We have been listening to our Curious George soundtrack again with Jack Johnson's rendition of The Sharing Song that goes "It's always more fun, to share with everyone." It's a catchy tune that we all like, but I don't think the words are sticking yet.
If you are eating right now, the rest of this story may need to wait... recently on our plane trip to Australia, Aden found something that really was his and that we hope he doesn't ever try to share with everyone. Aden had his head on daddy's lap, at which time daddy noticed Aden's nose was quite 'crusty' as he is just getting over a cold. As is his job, daddy proceeds to try and clean out Aden's nose. Aden then interjects with "No Daddy, my booger!"
