I'd like to tell you that I have two perfect grandchildren. They are so different, but to their grandmother, they are perfect. Both of them. That they love each other, is no secret. When these two cousins see each other, one or the other decides they need to hug. Granted, the hugger enjoys the hug more than the huggee. But it isn't always initiated by the same one. They both like to initiate the hug. They both are happy to see the other.
I'm not a child expert and don't really know when children truly learn to play together. I know that our grands are in the process of learning.
Haley's favorite game is pulling out Josiah's soother, and putting it back. He's very tolerant. Usually. Apparently the other day, he wasn't as tolerant and turned his head and wouldn't let her play her game. She had learned a new word, and used it on Josiah. "No, no, no, no!" She was somewhat exasperated. He was supposed to cooperate better.
It will be fun to watch them grow and learn what cooperation really means.
They understand a bit about sharing. Especially about sharing what the other one has! Haley readily shares her own things as well, as long as she can take them back as freely as she offers them.
Haley is happy to share Josiah's apple sauce. He's okay with it too. Sharing a lap is still fun as well.
Another of Haley's idea of sharing.
