It's MINE!!!!

So its happened the evil toddler stage of possession is upon us.

Jesse has started laying claim to everything and anything in the house causing his brothers much distress and irritation and leaving my ears ringing at the end of each day, I hate this stage no wait I detest this stage with every fiber of my being and whats worse is this; I get that sometimes you need to pick your battles and back away slowly avoiding all eye contact the boys however do not and will insist on getting that object of theirs away even though they are very aware that Jesse's attention span will wane within a few minutes and they can get whatever it is back peacefully and without tears and frustration... oh no instead the words it's mine echos back and forth until their voices are raised and their frustration can be heard down the street.

Jesse of course thinks this is very funny and can go on for days argh, WHY????

I'm starting to think the best strategy would be to sit in a room with the tv fridge and all loved necessitates and go NO its mine I paid for it all rofl.

I know it will pass we went through it before but sjoe my poor patience and sanity, hmmm maybe I should make the word mine a bad word in our household and fine the kids a toy or privilege every time they say it, don't know how far we will get but it's worth a try right????
