My daughter is very good about sharing some things, like snacks, but her and the sitter's daughter go back and forth with each other over toys. They are 2 yrs. and almost 3 years, and both like to say "Mine." Do they ever learn to get along with each other that way?
The sitter is great with them, she's good at dealing with it, and trying to teach them the right way. It's just one of those things that seems like no matter how often you try, it doesn't work. But I guess it will eventually when they both understand better...
Answer
At any age you will just have to keep working with them to teach them to share. If they dont share toys and such, take it away from them till they learn to share. Or You can say "Ok you can play with it for a little bit but then its her turn you got to share." Then set a time limit and when her time is up make her hand over the toy.

My son is 18 months old and I am not sure what to get him other than what I already have. I wanted to get him something specifically aimed at learning, not just fun time.

It may sound weird, but at this age - EVERYTHING is a learning toy. Your child will be able to learn from anything. Kids are sponges at this age and absorb everything from how something feels, to the noise it makes, to the way it moves, etc.
My son always loved things with wheels. He would flip cars over just to play with the wheels - especially ones that you could pull back, and then they'd go forward on their own. You could see the excitement in his face when he figured out how to do this on his own. =)
I've read articles that said constantly giving your baby toys that are teaching, and learning things can actually be detrimental. They say it limits a child's imagination. If a toy is telling your child that something is a bear.. then it's a bear. Nothing more. It's not a magical bear with super powers.. or a bear that loves to eat vanilla pudding.. it's just a bear.
My son does have some learning toys, but I've found he doesn't like them that much. (He likes cause and effect toys like keyboards/pianos.. those pop a shape things, etc where you have to do something to make something happen)
