I'm having a lot of fun/stress watching (and listening) to my boys play together. They are very different personality-wise but they do have a lot of fun/angst while playing together.
However, since Seth has a vocabulary of - oh- about 3 words (yes, he'll be 2 NEXT month!) Jaedon does not always know quite how to handle the lack of meaningful conversation.
For example- a very typical (and all too often) dialogue heard around here is as follows:
Jaedon: Seth, do you want to, can you please, how 'bout you .....
Seth: No.
Jaedon: Yes
Seth: No
Jaedon: Yes (increasing in volume)
Seth: NO (slight squealing)
Jaedon: YYYEEESSS!!!! (yelling)
Seth: NNNNNNNNNo! (screaming)
etc... usually until I tell them to cease and desist! -hopefully without the yelling and screaming!
Then there are times that they actually play really well together - despite the one sided conversation issue. "Monster" as per dubbed by Jaedon (aka Hide and Seek), any game that includes the use of a flashlight is a huge hit, and today's adventure was pretending to deliver mail (aka lots of extra valentine cards) via pirate ship (aka a box and the bathroom stool) while playing monster (aka hiding under blankets and yelling really loudly).
Ahhh...
BOYS!

Aunt Amber,
What are you doing today? We like the picture that you put for us to see. It looks like your baby is growing--we can't wait to see him. I miss you. All the boys are sleeping so mommy and I did a reading lessong and had a snack and we read Uncle Wiggly -- we are on story 13 now. I like it ALOT. This is a poem that I made up:
"It is fun at the fair when you are in your underwear." This is a poem I learned:
"Way down South where bananas grow
A grasshopper stepped on an elelphant's toe. The elelphant said with tears in his eyes, 'pick on somebody your own size.'"
I love you -- from Sunshine Girl
