The Joy of Sharing....

This year, the girls received a lot of joint presents - but even if they had not, they would still need to figure out the whole sharing thing. As the older sibling, Elizabeth bears the weight of the sharing responsibility as Emily pretty much follows her lead. So far, not so good. To be fair, they usually play very well together - but every once in a while, it gets very ugly, and screaming, yelling, pushing and shoving ensues.
This is Elizabeth's face, after learning that "sharing" means that Emily also gets to play with their (joint) gift from Aunt Denise and Uncle Andy - until then, Elizabeth's only understanding of sharing was that she could play with all of Emily's toys (i.e., "Emily has to share with me").
Emily basically blocks out Elizabeth's screaming and sets to work, pushing the baby stroller.
But as it turns out, Emily doesn't really like to share either.Can you see the wicked gleam in Elizabeth's eyes as she dashes away with the stroller?
