Play Date with Noah

Behold, the play date - every Mother's life line to sanity. Some days it's hard to keep a crazy wild 2 year old occupied without destroying everything and driving you crazy. With Eli in school, we are sure to schedule lots of play dates on the weekend. But today was a special week day treat.

Today we went to Noah's house so he & Eli could play. Baby Cole went along for the ride but it won't be long before he's right there in the mix. Eli & Noah don't get to play together too often so it's great when they do. Eli surprised me on the drive over by asking if Stella Dot was going to be there. He hasn't seen her since his birthday party but associates her with Noah - aren't their little minds amazing? It was a lot of fun watching the boys play together. Robin commented about how it's different watching 2 boys play than watching girls and boys play together. And she was right: boys = more physical, girls = more squealing and screaming. Eli & Noah were all over the place and although we had a few sharing lessons, they played well together. Upstairs in Noah's room, they were a riot. Eli was climbing in Noah's bed hiding under the blankets, then they climbed in the toy basket together (totally unprompted) and then showed Cole how to work the play mat. It was such a fun time - thanks Robin and Noah for having us! With Kylie on the way, we're looking forward to many more play dates.

"Ok, so we put this here and this there.....almost got it"
"See Baby Cole, isn't this fun. Moms LOVE cameras and photo opportunities."
Sweet Baby Cole - oh what a world awaits you
Can I interest you in 2 boys in a basket?
