Aurora Borealis

C came over with E today.  E’s older brother stayed home with his uncle.  Last time they had a play date, they just looked at each other.  Today they did a little more, but to say they played with each other would be a bit generous.  E is 8 months old to Agent Murphy’s not quite 6 months, but Agent Murphy is bigger.  And perhaps the more dominant one.  He reached over to touch E first, and since Agent Murphy wasn’t wearing any socks of his own, he tried to pull E’s socks off.  Agent Murphy scooted and wiggled all over his mat while E mostly sat there, more interested in watching me than anything else.  Agent Murphy has to learn about sharing.  He took E’s toys and didn’t want to give them back.  It’s good he has a friend to practice with.

The Dog was quite interested in all the goings on and had to be repeatedly reminded to go on her couch and leave the boys be.

I’m supposed to be napping, but I’m not tired.  So I thought I’d tell you that my friend E and his mommy came over today.  I went to his house once and now he came to mine.  He got on my mat with me, but he didn’t really play.  He just sat there.  He sits up really good.  I have to learn to do that.  I moved around a lot.  I got on my tummy, so E’s mommy put him on his tummy.  He cried, so I tried to show him the elephant ear that crinkles.  It’s my favorite part.  But he didn’t care.  He had some fun toys with him and I played with them. He tried to take one back and I cried.  Mommy and Daddy told me about sharing.  So he’s supposed to let me have his toys, right?

I’m glad I have a friend.  And then he went home.
