After seeing my friend at Sukusuku Hiroba she came over to our place for a new year playdate. She hadn’t been over for about a month so I wanted to show her all my Christmas gifts. We had a lot of fun playing together. Most babies our age don’t actually interact and just play near other babies. This is called parallel play. What we do is much more interactive. You can see from the eye contact, expressions, and attempts to touch each other that we are very interested in each other and what we are doing.
We get along very well and I’m always happy to see her. She seemed interested in my new toys, but even more interested in my doggy, who is not new at all. Actually, it is Mommy’s doggy. Daddy gave it to her years ago. My friend was playing with my doggy so much that her mommy check to see where we got it. Maybe she’ll be getting one for her birthday.
