I never thought I’d reach the point where my kids would play together. I mean, I guess I knew I would, but it always seems so far off, and in the mean time I was stuck in this miserable window of lugging around Zelie while Caidoc still needed tons of running around time closely supervised.
At 14 months, I really feel like I’ve gotten to the point that I never thought would come. Zelie is walking as fast as anything, practically running, and she and Caidoc are able to really interact and play together.
She’s able to keep up more, and he’s less wild. It’s like they are two equations that have finally converged on a graph due to the exact right data being inserted. It’s fantastic.
Of course they don’t get along 100 percent of the time. But today was particularly great. They must have played for two hours together, actually together, with minimal interaction with me. I’m thrilled, because this is the whole reason we had them close together.
It did sting a little when I came outside to check on them, “hey Caidoc you guys doing okay?” , “Yes, we pay paint mom, you go home” aka go away.
*sigh*
Okay bud.
It’s a bitter sweet thing these babies growing up.
