Not for us, but for someone else. Last week we had a date (which included Monkey staying at home with us because she was feverish and lethargic) and dropped Moose off with a friend. Tonight, we had the pleasure of watching their little guy. He's just over 2, and a bit small for his age. It was so much fun having him over. Moose gets so worked up about him coming over (and I know he does too) but they don't end up playing much together. Moose is into the interactive play, whereas the little guy is very much a parallel player. Watching him made me remember what Moose was like when he was younger. I kinda miss that age.
Moose would play by himself for an hour. He would take out his box of cars and line them all up one by one, and then slowly drive them somewhere else and park them all next to each other again. He would do this for hours, it seemed. It was great. He was completely absorbed in his own little world.
It will be fun to see Monkey get to that stage. She's already getting so big, it's hard to believe a year has passed. We're just waiting for words to start popping out. She's expanding her sign language to: more, please, papa, mama, help, and I might be forgetting one. She used to say milk, but now refuses. I feel like she's just going to wait, and then start speaking in half sentences. My niece did that. You can never underestimate the observant ones. There's no way to tell what's going on in those brains of theirs.
All in all, such a nice night. The little guy was a joy to watch (and didn't want to go home, which was cute.) and the two hours really went by quite quickly. Now it's relax time for the parents, including a small marathon of "Life". (Our latest Netflix TV show craze.)
