Playtime

It was quite a normal day and we did not really do anything extraordinary. Yet, the kids have been great and they played together in the evening. I mean, they REALLY played together. Of course there were some fights over the same toys and stuff, but they were amicable most of the time.

Sophie started off with reading on her own, then she could not help but to read the books to Alfee after a while. He was quite contented with just observing his big sister. Sophie also tried to carry her baby brother. I was a bit nervous but she was not at all rough with him.

Next, Sophie showed Alfee all the balls and how they could play with them. He loves balls and he could engage in simple ball games of rolling and throwing. Occasionally, he would try to grab the ball in her hand and throw it far away for her to pick up.

Sophie decided to take a break and do reading again, Alfee was left waiting eagerly for his playmate. Good thing he was patient and soon, his big sister reunited with him in play.

They went for the percussion instruments. Both of them enjoyed beating around and creating a great deal of noise. At some point, the noise became unbearable for Alfee so he took cover in my arms. That was when I had to end their musical exploration.

And that was when Sophie surprised me with her sense of humor again. She "plugged" the microphone wire into her play kitchen oven and began to do a show.
