Play.

This beautiful boy has been playing....
....with this incredible older brother.

That's right....playing.  
No, not just hanging out in the same vicinity.  
No not just being pushed along to play. 
 Actually wanting and participating in play.

He's been allowing his older brother to teach him things.  
And he stays.  He listens.  
He's learning the difference between bounce passes and chest passes.

He wants to be chased and will look back to see if his older brother is still playing with him.  
If he isn't, he'll pause and say "Cor?"


He's building a new relationship, in a way.
And I am thrilled.

It's so great when they really engage like that, isn't it!!! 95% of the time Katie wants nothing to do with Ben, but when they play together, they really PLAY.
