Shared Parenting

Hunter & Adam have come to an understanding regarding this stuffed chipmunk ("Chipper" to Hunter). Hunter got this stuffed beanie baby at a visit with Santa this last Christmas. Chipmunk has recently become a favorite of Adam, resulting in a few squabbles over it. Hunter has been very generous to share his chipmunk with Adam and they have come to an understanding. Every morning, when Hunter goes to school, he hands his beloved Chipper over to Adam for the day. After school, when we go to pick up kids from school, Adam hands Chipmunk over to Hunter in the car. Adam will then lurk after school for the moment that Hunter puts Chipper down. Then Adam will quietly pick up Chipmunk and sneak off with it. I am very impressed with the way they are learning how to share happily on their own. Is there anything more wonderful than when your kids get along?
