My sweet, loving little boy has suddenly had an unexpected change in personality. Grant has become quite the bully and I'm praying to God that this is just a phase. Recently, Luke came over to play on a rainy day and this is the sequence of events...
The play date started out great as usual, the boys got along wonderfully.
They both love running up and down the length of the sofa.
Then they tumble onto the pillows
All of a sudden, Grant becomes very teritorial with his toys. This is him coveting his baseball glove and saying, "Mine!"
The next series of events is beyond me, I'll let the pictures speak for themselves...
Luke surrenders and wonders, "What Next?!"
Poor Luke, Grant got the best of him!
After the drama, Luke decides he wants to play Grant's keyboard. Grant had another idea.
and this is Grant after learning he has to share his toys...
Oh boy. I need advice, help, etc. Timeout and telling him NO will only do so much! Here's hoping he grows out of this soon!
Welcome to the Terrible Twos. This is COMPLETELY normal behavior for his age, unfortunately. Olivia still does the same thing at times, and we have been working on this for more than 6 months. The biggest trigger is being on their home turf -- you will find that Grant doesn't act nearly this badly when they play in a neutral setting or at Luke's house. Hang in there, it's just a phase.
