In early childhood education lingo, they tell us about the progression of children's play, and how young toddlers often play alongside each other (parallel play) but don't learn how to play with each other — actually engage each other in play (cooperative play) — until they get a little older. Daniel and Beela stood together at the easel, both drawing on the paper, which is typical parallel play, but then I heard Daniel tell Beela, "That's a line." Is that the beginnings of cooperative play? Maybe. And how about when Beela goes in to give Daniel a goodbye hug? (She tried to give him a kiss, but she couldn't pull the pacifier out of his mouth.) Whatever it is, it's pretty darn cute.

very cute. i love that he has a racecar bed! how cool is he??!?!
well Chris is very impressed that Daniel was able to get four girls in his bed, until i pointed out that Daniel wasn't in bed with them :) So cute!
Wow. Daniel is so grown up all of a sudden. Look at him standing at the ease.
He's going to have fun playing "Tea Party" with those cuties. It seems that Daniel shares his space well.
Cute!
I just love Beela's bob! She is fashion queen.
And Evelyn, with her thick mane of blond hair!

Brought a smile to my face! :)
Awww, great shots. Harry loved seeing them and remembered being there when you took them! He saw Daniel's room and knew just what it was and where he'd been. It was a nice time had by all. You rock as hostess.
