playing together...

so it seems that overnight jack has grown up and he is no longer my little baby. he is officially a toddler now- walking, running, talking, and even throwing a few fits. ha! who am i kidding, a lot of fits!! with all of his changes from baby to big boy, he and olivia have become sweet friends! don't misunderstand me, this friendship comes with it's fights, screaming, and usually a fair amount of crying, but they do love to be together.

one of the best parts of their new found friendship is that they are playing really well together. olivia is all about make-believe and role playing, so that is usually what they end up doing. of course olivia is the "master-mind" behind all these games and tells jack exactly what to do. he usually complies and plays along. just last night while i was cleaning up the dishes from dinner, they came into the kitchen with blankets draped over their heads. olivia was riding the cow (a riding toy) and jack was walking beside her. olivia then announced, "ladies and gentlemen, please turn off your cell phones and cameras and enjoy the mary and joseph show..."

let me introduce you to the cast of "the mary and joseph show"...

mary...

joseph...

and the "happy couple" riding to bethlehem on the donkey (aka cow)...

*please excuse the rest of the wardrobe. jack spilled yogurt all over his pants at dinner, so they were removed. olivia is obsessed with wearing nightgowns. as soon as we walk in the house she changes out of real clothes and puts on a nightgown.

this little show made me laugh, but it also made me think about what a special relationship they have and how happy i am that for the time being they love to spend time together. :) who knows what world they will be apart of today??
