We had a play date with two neighborhood couples and their little ones. Holden is 18 months and in the 99% for size - big boy! He walks and talks and is a little person. He is super gentle and a lovely sharer - Simon and Maya are good takers, but Holden is quite gracious about it. Maya is the little girl and is 3 weeks older than Simon (but was full term so more like 5-6 weeks more advanced). She is also walking and has been for a couple months (!), even though she isn't talking yet she gets her point across. These little ones have personality so young! Simon is standing much better, but still not walking and very quiet when there are lots of things and stuff going on. Though he managed to get around pretty well anyway.
It was a really fun day with everyone taking some time with the sprinkler. The sprinkler had lots of moving parts and the water was really cold. It was about 90 degrees out, so it was refreshing if you just jumped through. Because Simon isn't super mobile yet he didn't get in and out of the water like the other two and as a result got chilled and his little teeth started chattering. But he loved the sprinkler so when we pulled him out he just crawled back! Finally we turned the sprinkler off and pulled out a destruction toy - Baby Sized red cups from Target. They LOVED them. We filled each with an inch or two of water and the kids tried to figure out how to drink from a cup. Most of the water ended up on someones lap, but it was fun for kids and adults alike.
