The Snatcher

Could it possibly be because she is the younger sibling? Or is it the other kids in her class? Either way, one thing is for sure, my precious baby Emma has turned into quite the toy snatcher! I've seen it in action now, and the teachers have told me, she will go after a toy if she wants it - no matter what she has to do to get it!


The other day I was observing her classroom from the window, when I watched her go in on the prowl. One second she's playing quietly to herself with a rainbow colored ball. The next second, she spotted it; one of her innocent friends was playing with a green turtle. It was like a switch flipped in her brain and she had to have it. She went after that turtle like it was the only toy in the room and it was going to save her life! She crawled right on over, snatched it from her friend leaving him in tears. Then she sat about 6 inches away from him playing with it, all as if she did nothing wrong. She's only 11 months old! How can a baby girl this cute and precious already be leaving boys in tears...? I think I'm in trouble!
