Plays Well With Others

Yesterday Parker had the opportunity to play with a couple of friends, who along with their parents, stopped by for a quick visit.

My heart soared as I watched Our Brave Hero butt hop over to join in the playing that was happening in our family room. Parker has decided that hanging out with friends is all kinds of cool.

As a matter of fact you would have thought that my kid had years of schmoozing under his belt by the way he was handing out air kisses to one and all. Kind of like my other two boys, Parker seems to have inherited the ‘plays well with others’ gene.

Well. There was the momentary breach of play date etiquette when, after failing to gain one friend’s attention, Parker decided to take a stronger approach and huck his popping turtle at this unsuspecting visitor’s head.

Yeah. We’re working on that Christie. Promise. Sometimes Parker’s non-verbal thing can be a real pain in the back of somebody else’s head. Opps.

I was totally impressed though by how normal yesterday’s spur of the moment play date was. Just three little boys playing. Doing what all little boys live to do. Playing with the same toys that every other little boy around would want to play with.

Which simply goes to show that typical comes in all different sizes, shapes, and chromosomal counts.

Tammy and Parker also hang out at their other blog: Praying For Parker
