No mine!!

I'm not sure why this word mine bothers me so much but it's the most annoying word that comes out my daughters mouth. NO MINE!!

It started around 18 months and I'm not sure where she picked it up but she said it constantly even when it didn't make any sense. She would sit in her high chair and repeat it over and over. I thought she had turrets syndrome for a bit :) I then realized she was saying it just to get a reaction out of me. Go figure a toddler trying to get a reaction from their mom!

Once I didn't let it bother me, she stopped saying it. I was thrilled not to hear those words anymore!!
 
Well it's starting again and this time it's only worse and she knows exactly what she's saying.

Now that Reagan is starting to use things she used, such as her highchair, Ashlee is not a happy camper about it! Even though she hasn't sat it her highchair for months and never really enjoyed it anyways. If I use a bowl for Reagan Ash yells no mine, or toys Reagan is starting to take interest in that were once Ashlee's, she again yells no mine, sometimes I don't think she can stop herself from saying it. 

 I'm sure it's a phase but I really hate those two words and I can't wait for the phase to be over.

I got this idea from a friend of mine....I bought a jar and every time she says those two words she has to put money from her piggy bank into this jar, and when we go an entire day with out saying it she gets her money back. We'll see how it goes, I just started it so not much to report yet :)
