Me & Mine

Etta has been having a big burst of language lately. She is picking up new words and some old words are getting easier to understand. Two of her new words are "me" and "Mine". Now from a developmental and self-awareness standpoint this is great. But from a sibling rivalry standpoint it has changed the conflict. It is wonderful that she has these words, but she is putting them to use when playing with her sister. The conflicts might not be getting any more intense, but they sound more escalated since there are these new words.
