Brothers at Play

This year the boys have gone from observing each other at play to actually playing together.  It has been interesting to watch as both of them have progressed - Ephram into being able to play with others as part of a toddler achievement, and Charlie as he learns how to be appropriate in play and show consideration for another person's wishes.  It has been great for both of them.

Here are just a few pictures from the boys playing together in January.

The boys started playing their own version of hide and seek/chase.  You can't really call it hide and seek as they don't have the patience to wait for the other to hide.  But they still find it very entertaining.

Charlie also invited Ephram into his sleeping bag... which is probably Charlie's very favorite place in the house.  (I think it's a sensory thing, he goes way down into the bottom of the bag and makes his own little cocoon.)  Ephram was so excited... he climbed right in and started zipping up the side.  He was not interested in burying himself inside though!

Finally, Ephram discovered video games with this old handheld Tetris of mine.  He loved climbing up on the couch and being just like his big brother.
