Xander Loves Venice

Yes, Xander loves Venice. We went to the zoo for a field trip with Venice's school. She ran off and played with a schoolmate. Xander was left with me. Looking around, he said, "Venice go?" I pointed Venice out to him and off he went, running to catch up with her yelling, "NayNay! NayNay!"

Today, Venice had an art show, after a week long art class. Xander and I walked in, he looked around the busy room and spotted Venice. He immediately started gyrating in his stroller, pointing and yelling, "NayNay! NayNay!"

The two of them play really well these days. Not all the time. But there are a lot more times now, when I can clean the dishes, get dressed, do some emails and the kids are playing together. I can hear them chasing each other, jumping on the beds, or playing some game Venice invented. I hear their laughter, squeals of delight and general happiness. This playtime usually ends with Xander in tears. The two of them fighting over a toy or he bonks into a table or wall. But it is great to see them playing together more and enjoying one another. It's also great for me and my 10 minute break!
