Jealousy

I have a new born niece now. When I carried my niece, Lucas is actually jealous or feeling insure. The first time, he pulled my hand and wanted me to carry him as well. When I said no, he frowned and wanted to cry. He looked so pitiful!
What amazes me is how or where did he know jealousy or feeling insure. How does he know that another baby is a threat to him but not another adult. Amazing how he can piece the puzzles together.

That's funny! Do you know that dogs get jealous too? My dog was so jealous when we brought Isis home that she snapped at her!
My theory is that "Jealousy" is not learned, rather an innate feeling like "love" or "empathy". I think one has to learn, or be taught how to "not be jeolous". Just a thought.........
