A sense of identity

A couple of nights ago Zoë showed the first signs that she is developing a sense of her own identity. Nino was tickling Zoë's foot when she shouted "no, my foot!' as she moved her foot away. "Mine, Mine" she said - and has continued to say ever since about everything. Up until now she has always said "Zoë's foot" or whatever it happens to be.

Now we have the problem of anything that is "Mine" means Nino and I are excluded. Putting on her pyjamas last night it was "My pyjamas, my foot, my leg"."Go away Mummy, MINE!!"."MINE DADDY, MINE!

Now everything is hers.
