When it’s play-time, uur little monkey always has more fun when sharing the activity with someone else, whether that’s someone his own age or just anybody who happens to be around. A very common phrase of his: “You play wif me here” which very quickly becomes “You play wif me… pleeeeeease?” when he sees our reaction to his bossiness. Or tonight, even with ice-cream waiting for him (he is NUTS for ice-cream like any kid) he says to his mother, “Play wif me! Please, please, please, please!” (That many pleases in a row was a first!)
However, he can also play on his own. If I reply with “Sorry, daddy is busy,” he usually plays by himself for a little while. But that’s not really the point of this post. The point of this post is to write about two recent incidents in which he literally entertained himself.
