Little Buds

Our friends Ellis and his mommy Ember came over to play this morning. Easton answered the door in his "silly mask".

The boys had a blast and it was so fun to watch. When we go play at other kids' houses Easton is often more interested in checking out all the other kid's toys than he is in actually playing with the other kid. I think the same might be true when other kids come over here? I don't know...

But today the boys were totally playing together and I love hearing Easton have conversations with another 3 year old rather than adults like he's usually stuck talking to. The boys played some chase kind of game with a basketball (it seemed to make sense to them) and played with the Rescue Center and E's new drums (they each had a stick in one hand and an apple slice in the other). Pretty cute.

I actually took some pictures but they're not quite as cute as the boys really were in the moment. Don't you hate it when that happens?

Anyway, checking out Hokey Pokey Elmo in the "clubhouse":


It's not a great shot, especially because they were trying to stay hidden and needed the door closed:

Little Dalton sooooo wanted to play with the big boys. It's hard to be little. I was glad they let him in the clubhouse with them.

Ellis got hungry and so they had an apple...again, they kind of tried to stay hidden from us and sat on the stairs with the rest of us in the living room:

I guess they're not too excited to see me and my camera when they were trying to be off on their own.

And Easton has a new game where he likes to make a "crib" out of pillows on the couch and we tuck him in and such. Ellis was willing to play along and read Easton a story, sang him a lullaby...

It's blurry but it was still cute.

Ellis is going to be a big brother soon himself, his baby brother is due, like, next week! I look forward to Dalton getting to have a little buddy one day too.
