Nayan and Bree

Today Brianna and I had a playdate with Bree's friend Nayan and his mom Shannon. Nayan is two and a half and currently Bree's only male friend in her age group. It always makes me smile to watch them together and see little echoes of how men and women interact as adults as well. Today Nayan was pushing Bree along as she sat in his toddler-size red car in the backyard. She sat there like a little princess with a personal carriage. When one of the wheels got stuck Nayan even came around and straightened it out and then continued pushing the car around. Everything was going great until Nayan "crashed" the car into a large flower pot in the yard. (Ok, he just bumped it and the car was stuck for a while, but how typical, not asking for directions!) After they tired of using the car the two of them were playing house in the mini-size house in Shannon's back yard. Shannon even has it set up with a kids' patio furniture set since there's also a small deck in front of the play house. At one point Bree and Nayan were sitting across from each other in the patio chairs, the table between them. The table had a little potted plant sitting on it and for some reason, Nayan just shoved the flowers right off, onto the ground where they spilled out. Bree was most distressed and jumped up saying "My flowers, my flowers!" Ah yes, these little domestic disputes! (Hee hee hee :)
