Ring Around the Rosey
I think Taylor is particularly excited about Evan eventually growing big enough for her to actually play with. In the meantime, she seems content in attempting to find games in which both of them can participate. Recently, I hear Taylor singing the "Ring around the Rosey" song to her baby brother. Sweet right? When I checked on them, I discovered that the game was much more then just a Taylor singing to Evan. She was standing next to his glider and spinning his chair to the tune of the song. Evan didn't really look like he had a clue as to what was going on. At the very least he wasn't crying. Taylor looked overjoyed at having found a way to play with Evan. She would break into hysterical laughter every time she got to "fall down". Jump up and yell "again", and then start the process over. So I guess I did what every good parent would do....run for the video camera. Then after capturing this moment on video, then and only then did I step in to help them find an equally creative and similar game to play. Anyone have ideas on games for toddlers and infants to play together?

Peek-a-boo is a good one - Julia loves figuring out creative places to "hide" - like under her shirt, under the dinner table, etc., then popping out to go "A-boo!" at Madeleine. Madeleine LOVES it - cracks up giggling over it - which is all the more rewarding for Julia. By the way, F-ink Monkey is hilarious!!
