Here comes the cries

Well, as we expected, HY's reaction to EY taking her toys has progressively gotten vocal. Remember a few weeks ago, when EY took HY's toy, HY would just look for something else to play. She didn't seem to care much. Last week, when similar situation happened, HY would make a deep loud noise to protest EY's action. She still allowed EY to take the toy. Well, EY didn't seem to care. She paused because of HY's loud noise, then, she carried on examining her new possession.

At the end of last week, HY finally made a move to try to take back the toy after she lost it with a scream to scold EY for her action. EY always had a strong grip on the toys so even HY got a hold of the toy again, she couldn't snap it out of EY's hand. Then, if there were other toys around, HY would pick up another toy to play. Once EY saw HY playing with a different toy, EY wanted to take that, too. It was funny that HY seemed to know that was what EY would do and she snatched her 1st toy back while EY was distracted trying to take her 2nd toy. Once EY got the 2nd toy, she realized that HY had the 1st toy back. This time, EY learned to not to give away what she had while she was getting the 2nd one. One hand verses two hands, HY seemed to be able to defend her possession this time.

Yesterday, HY really wanted her toy back from EY because there was nothing else to play. She attempted but she couldn't even get closed to it because EY turned her body around to protect her toy. HY was frustrated and she screamed and cried out for help. That was the first time that HY cried after losing her toy. I gave her a different toy and she was OK. EY glanced at what I gave HY and didn't seem to show much interest. Good, HY would be able to enjoy it for a while before EY changed her mind :-P
