Paul and Erica

Paul and Erica are playing together more and more. I enjoy watching them together. Sometimes they get in trouble together. A few days ago I was outside in the backyard for a few minutes. When I came back in, Paul and Erica were both in the kitchen. After listening to their explanations, I put together the story: Paul had climbed up onto the counter to get some crackers. He successfully got a package of crackers out of the cupboard above the stove, but he fell while getting down, hitting his head into Erica's. Every time they do something like that, I worry about them.

But there are also moments like the one I just witnessed that encourage me. They have been pushing around the toy shopping cart and stroller. Erica told Paul that she was hurt and pointed to her head. Paul said "I need to kiss it," and he did. Erica was satisfied and the two of them continued playing.

I am glad they are enjoying each other and building a good friendship.

I love it when they do stuff like that! It gives you hope that maybe they will not grow up to be mortal enemies.
