"Mine!"

What is my world coming to? My sweet baby has learned the most cherished word of toddlers everywhere: the infamous "mine." He just learned it this morning, and has been using it liberally. No matter that it sounds like "my" coming out of his mouth...we all know exactly what he means. This selfish mine concept, above all others, exemplifies to me the human sinful nature in small children. (As if I had any doubt about this one!)

Precious little one, we have a lot of work ahead of us.
