After playing outside in the pool, my friend and I continued to play together inside. Even though we had a lot of space, we found ourselves playing right next to each other. I shared my toys with her until I realized that the toys that she was playing with looked like a lot of fun. At which point I would strongly suggest we play with different toys by starting to play with whatever she had in her hands. That was fine with her and she had a ball playing with all my toys which were all new for her.
As we played, we noticed that we had different interests. I love cars and trucks, but she loves stuffed animals. She brought her moncchichi doll with her and would give it big hugs all the time. I’m not that interested in dolls or stuffed animals. She played with my cars a little bit but lost interest very quickly. We just have different tastes.
We played very well together until we started to get tired and fussy. We were having so much fun that we played right past our nap times. Things started to get hostile. I wouldn’t share anything with her. I would try and snatch things back from her, even though there was no way for me to play with everything at once. She was not as forgiving as before and started to fight back and hold onto or pull back on the toys. We knew it was time for our play date to end before we got into a fight. So we went to our respective parents and parted ways, each falling asleep very quickly.
What a great day! I absolutely meant it when I told her that we should do this again sometime. I can’t wait!
