Playing together is actually now FUN!

Thomas is getting braver & braver as he jumps from higher and higher places...



My worry is Abby will be trying to do this next week because she has been known to follow her brother's lead.  Oh Lord help us!

The kids are starting to actually play with each other. I know the experts say that at Abby's age, children play next to their peers; but with brother & sister... I really think it is different. Thomas engages Abby in play... of course, that being said he also frustrates her, pushes her, snatches things away from her, picks what he wants before she does, etc... but all in all, he has conversations with her and she is smitten with everything he is doing it.  It really does warm my heart to see the two of them laughing with/at each other and enjoying one another...


Case in point: Each morning when we head outside for some fresh air & play time on the juggle gym, the two of them are usually together doing something:













On a different note - Abby is still very easily frustrated.  I'm sure not having the words to express herself has something to do it with it.



On the other hand - Thomas is our talker and he will tell you just about anything, anyhow, anywhere... and more than likely it will be absolutely amusing to hold a conversation with him.  It is probably one of my favorite highlights of my day... just talking with him about anything.
