"i don't want to share"

he got to play with his big cat digger truck for the first time yesterday, i put it with his other gifts. it was sitting in our garage until i had time to clean out the dirt and wash the blocks in soap and water. he absolutely loved it and played with it all day long. he had a hard time trying to share it once there were two others playing with it too. he did a pretty good job up until it was the only thing that he and another kid wanted to play with it at the same time. it was a power struggle. i kept saying to him that he needed to share and finally with a big pout he said to me, "i don't want to share." i had to take a deep breath and hold back, i was so upset. i took his hands, asked him to look at me and said: that's not nice at all, i never want to hear that from you. everything that we have is God's not ours. if you can't share it, then you can't have it at all. your friend is our guest, you can play with it everyday, they are here right now and want to play with it too. you need to be nice and share your toy or you get it taken away. can you please share? when he said yes, such relief came over me. but i was still so upset that i was half crying as i got them to take turns scooping up the little cars and dumping them either in the truck or into another truck. it was cute, they both calmed down as far as pouting and wanting their way. whew! such drama, what in the world?!
