Sean, Play!

This Sunday after Church we went over to our dear friends' Bruce and Teresa's house for some brunch. They have 2 y.o. Gabriel and brand new Natalie. Gabriel has loved Baby Sean since he first visited us in the hospital when SB was only 2 days old. Now, when we enter Church and Gabriel spots us he loudly proclaims "Ba-bee Sean! Ba-bee Sean!" G. was so excited to have Baby Sean over to play, but I think he was a little dissapointed in Sean's social skills. Clearly Sean is bigger than Natalie, so he should be able to play with Gabriel, right?

Gabriel first took out all of his toys to show to Baby Sean. After sean sat in my lap looking pretty disinterested Gabriel finally walked over to him, tried to pick him up and demanded, "Sean, play!" When he saw this wouldn't work he settled for "Sean, sit here." So he did.

Teresa then reminded Gabriel of what they talked about before we came over... that Sean wouldn't be able to play all the same things Gabriel plays, and it might be better to sit and read him a book. Gabriel remembered immediately, grabbed a book and asked for Sean to come sit and read with him.

Unfortunately, this too did not turn out how Gabriel had hoped. Sean couldn't read, and sadly, was only interested in eating Gabriel's book.

Gabriel realized he must do something about Baby Sean trying to eat all his books.

AH, finally a game Baby Sean can play! If you just sit there, I will play doctor. Gabriel was a great doctor and listened to all of our hearts. Baby Sean's is just fine.

Gabriel makes one last attempt at interactive play with baby sean.

Gabriel may have been a little dissapointed in his unplayful play-date, but Sean had a wonderful Sunday!
