How to Share Toys, by Amanda

I love my sister Claire, and we do share the same DNA. But sometimes she has a toy that I would like to play with. So here's how I "share" with her. (These are all hypothetical situations, of course!)

Scenario 1: If Claire has a baby doll that I would like to play with, I find another different baby doll and walk over to offer it to her. Then what she is caught off guard by my generosity I grab the other one out of her hand and try to run away. Note: This does not work so well if Claire is sitting in Mommy's lap.

Scenario 2: If Claire has a toy, like the Little People Farm House, that I would like to play with and she doesn't have her hands on it at that particular moment, I run by and grab it, and run off before she has time to react. When I arrive at a safe location on the other side of the room, I set the toy on the ground and give Claire the "all done" symbol (hold both hands in the air next to the shoulders and turn hands back and forth while saying "all done" - Mommy taught us this so we can tell her when we are full and finished eating). Note: This does not work so well if Nana is watching.
