From the mouths of babes

Olivia has started to speak. Basically one week she babbled constantly and the next week there were words mixed in.
mom, dad, up, cat, cup, cheers (altho this sounds more like, "aish" - but the cup raised to yours gives away the true meaning of that one) and the kicker - mine.
I don't mind hearing any of them, except "mine." I know that I've probably used the word, mine, around her, but arghh to hear her say it with a stubborn look on her face as she takes a ball away from the cat. She is so saucy.
Turns out, "mine," is saved for family. Our daycare provider, Sandra, has yet to hear her say it. I do suspect that might be because everyone there seems to cater to my girl's every whim. Oh my!
So, we deal with "mine" and hope that sharing comes as easily at one point! I was really worried about her not sharing until Sandra mentioned that most children go through some really stubborn phases and they take their own time learning concepts that are contrary to what they want. So, she'll learn to share at some point, but in the meantime we better get used to her taking instant ownership of everything she sees!
We went and saw The Incredibles - it was great! Alan was a little perturbed that a "real-life" Fantastic Four movie will suffer by comparison. Most of the Incredibles' powers are mirrored to powers in the Fantastic Four and it would be hard for a CGI-d Ioan Gruffud as Mr. Fantastic to be as well done as ElastiGirl - matriarch of the Incredible clan.
Either way, I thought the movie was brilliant and highly recommend it!
Cheers,
