I never went for this "time out" thing. In fact I never punished. I simply did not allow them to misbehave. If they were doing something undesirable, I stopped them from doing it. It takes more work than yelling or punishing, but is more effective.
It's normal-he's an only child right? Don't worry my daughter went and goes through it though now she is 6 and a half so not the same way. He is just trying to show ownership and independence. Just keep reinforcing his sharing and give him time outs or take the toy away if he refuses to share.
