Kenzie had so much fun with the Fleisch's new puppy. For the most part she ran around the backyard with her, although there was a little spat when the puppy jumped up on her and knocked her into the kiddie pool....Maddie, on the other hand jumped right into the pool with the puppy!
Ok, everyone I need your opinion! Here's the story: We went to the park, fed the geese, went on a Ferris wheel, merry go round, and other little rides, afterwards we got snow cones. Of course, with Maddie being so little I told the two kids that they could share. No complaints on either end about it. We went back to sit down, and my aunt, cousin, grandpa, and my Dad all went on for 5 minutes about what a horrible and mean mom I was for not getting Maddie her very own. I was so tired of listening to this that I gave in, got another snow cone, and told my Aunt Deb that she was fully in charge of the mess that was about to happen. (Notice that I got a blue snow cone to match her blue shirt, so the stains wouldn't be as noticeable!) I would rather have Maddie take little bites of Kenzie's than to have Maddie holding her own, squeezing, spilling, and tossing it everywhere! OK, so what do you think? When you have a 15 month old, do they get their very own snow cone, ice cream, etc? I say, they're just fine sharing and it's half the mess! Please comment back on this one!!!!

If Mom says they share then they share. I say take advantage of the times when Madi (and Kenz) doesn't mind sharing. At some point they get a little more demanding about having their own stuff. Plus I'm cheap.
yay Kat! I completely agree!!!!
I am all for them having their own, but only if someone else is cleaning them up after!!! Maddie and Kenzie are (like my kids) so incredibly spoiled they can afford to share every once in a while! It builds character!
I'm with Kat all the way. Unless maybe the baby is eating it naked in a bathtub...
and yes, lol, Dave IS a FATTY!
As a mom of little ones I would totally say share! Like Maddie cares as long as she gets some.
BUT.....when I am acting as the aunt, friend "grama" figure (ouch that hurts!) I totally say give them their own! Perspective changes with the title--and your age :)
Go with your mothering instinct on this one, you were right the first time. Live it up while they still will! Grandma and Grandpa do a great job spoiling anyway, they don't need your help!
Oh my goodness, make them share! It's not about the money, it's about teaching them to share with their sister. Next time you go out to McD's, you should totally embarass your family by getting a box of chicken nuggets, one box of fries, and a small drink that the whole family eats out of. It builds character! haha!
Ha ha! I love Laurel's (Lovejoy) comment the best, I'm doin it!
