Life Lessons from the Dog

Bryce being an only child for the time being doesn't have to interact with many children in the form of sharing.  All his toys are his and he gets them when he wants them.  As Bryce gets older the more and more Bryce learns to share with Benton.  Today for example, his lunch consisted of a bite for him, a bite for Benton.  Though not the ideal situation, I was happy as mom as he was sharing his favorite lunch of mac and cheese.  I am yet to figure out why every time he gives the dog a bite he laughs.  Is he realizing that he's being a friend, does he enjoy the "chomp" sound Benton makes as he snatches up the noodle dropping, does he know he's doing wrong?  Last night, in mid bite he quickly tore off a piece of turkey to give to Benton, who waits patiently just incase Bryce does decide to share.  Benton for the most part cannot be in during meal times because Bryce eats much less and we would hate to have a malnourished kiddo because of a dog!  Whatever the case may be, Bryce is learning to share...now we hope that this life lesson from the pup translates to people!
