Audrey Kvetches with Cousins

At Olivia's birthday, Audrey seemed to be having tea with the attending girl cousins in the sitting room. All very cordial, charming.

Henry Hugs Opa

I guess the little guy just really needed this hug. He grabbed Opa as soon as he walked in the door and didn't let go. Not that Opa seemed to mind.

Toofs

This is Audrey and Henry sharing. A little bit.

They do many things together...and many against each other. They definitely play with each other at home and at school, and check on each other when they are upset. But they will also become very upset and possessive if the other has a toy or food or anything that they think they should have. They are sharing the bathroom stool in these photos, and fighting over the toy car in the yard. We are charmed by these interactions, because we remember Olivia being a normal parallel-playing kid at this age. Not very much direct or cooperative play interaction with other children her age, more play near them.

Also, Audrey's teachers got her hair into pig tails, and she looked adorable.
