Cason and Tate

The last time we saw Tate was last July, right at Cason's 2nd birthday. At that point, they didn't really talk to each other and barely interacted. It was mostly fighting over toys or doing their own thing. We talk about Alissa, Dave, and Tate and I sometimes show him pictures or videos from Alissa's blog. But I didn't know how long it would take for Cason and Tate to feel comfortable around each other and how they would interact. It turned out that they hit if off right away. As soon as we all arrived at the townhome, Dave and I went to Walmart to get groceries. By the time we got back, Cason and Tate were running around the house together playing, jumping on the bed, and having cute little conversations.

Most of the time, they would just run off upstairs or on the back patio. It was kind of nice for them to entertain each other and they did a really good job of getting along most of the time. A few times a day, we would have to intervene, usually to stop Cason from hitting or kicking Tate. It was nice that there weren't many toys there for them to fight over. They usually just ended up jumping on Cason's bed. Which was great unless you were in Alissa and Dave's bathroom downstairs, then it sounded like the roof was caving in. Poor Bryce wanted to play with the big boys so bad but they weren't having any of that. Several times I heard one of them say "shut the door so the baby doesn't get in!" Hopefully next summer they will let him play!
