Cutie Pie and Princess

Cutie Pie's cousins came over to play this weekend and oh what fun he had! I learned a lot about my little Cutie Pie from this experience. Usually when we visit with other babies it is only for a short while. Cutie Pie plays with his classmates at school but Mommy does not get to observe their playtime for more than a few minutes when he is dropped off or picked up. It was so neat to see him play with another baby all day.


Cutie Pie's cousin is about two months older than him. We'll call her Princess. They crawled all over the place and patted the dogs together. It was really fun to watch them play with toys together. I heard that kids who go to day care are more aggressive, especially boys. So, I was expecting to have to play referee when I saw them go after the same toys. I was shocked though to see my tough day care boy share his toys easily with his stay at home cousin.

Princess is older and a little more aggressive. Cutie Pie showed Princess around his living room and picked up all the best toys. When Princess saw something she liked, she just held out her hand and Cutie Pie gave it to her. No tug of war, no tears. My baby is nice. I am so proud!


Cutie Pie was quiet most of the morning. He seemed to be taking it all in. I have noticed that when he plays with new people he is not quite himself. After about three hours though, he seemed to come to life. All of a sudden he felt comfortable and the babbling began! He told his Aunt and cousins all about his day. "Blah ba Hey!"

The cutest moment of the day was when we had to put one of our dogs in time out. He was banished to the porch where he barked his head off in protest. The babies were very concerned about their little buddy and crawled over to comfort him. I think they were surprised to find that they were not able to go through the glass on the door. They sat together, babbling at the dog. "Blah, la ba ba, hush doggie!"
