Playing

Carter has made some 'growing up' changes in the past couple months and one of them is how well the boys play together. Sure every so often somebody takes a swing at the other or they fight over a toy, but that's just typical. They both have similar interests in toys - cars, trucks, rockets and jumping on cushions appear to be their go-to's. They also are sound effect makers! It is so funny to hear them both making car sounds, plane sounds, rocket sounds....at the same time.

Last night John and I were sitting on the couch just watching them play. They built an obstacle course together. They would walk on the couch, climb over the back, go through the tunnel, come to me where I lifted the bridge (my legs) and then repeat. They were giggling like crazy and Logan, who is a little faster and not running with an elephant, kept saying 'come on, Carter'....and Carter was running as fast as he could. It was just too cute.

This morning, Logan found the tripod and told Carter to come over because he had to take his picture. He told Carter how to stand and then he used his flashlight as the camera (turned it on, then said click). He said 'Oh Carter, it's beautiful! Let's check it.' Carter sat there and said 'cheese'.

The other day Carter was walking into an area that had a lot of toys on the floor (organizing from Christmas). Logan stopped him and got down to his level and said 'Be Careful' (gesturing with his hands, of course....like his mom).

If Carter wakes up first, as soon as Logan comes out of his room, he says 'WOGAN!!!!!'. He is soooo excited to see his best friend. Now sometimes, Logan likes a little quiet and cuddle time when he wakes up. So often times his response is 'Stop it, Carter'. But it is cute how excited he is. When Carter is still napping, Logan also asks where he is.

Everyday they play more and more together and interact. I just love hearing and seeing it and I really hope that it continues for the rest of their life.
