A Playmate for the day

JT is so used to me being his playmate that the poor kid does not really know how to act around kids.  I am trying to get him play dates, but so far, they are few and far between.  We were lucky to have a play mate for the entire day on Thursday.  At first JT just kind of stood back and watched her play with his toys.

But once she offered to share a toy with him, he warmed up to her.

He even reciprocated by sharing his Gumby with her.

Not sure why JT does this - but he bangs his head - usually when he is tired or frustrated - or not getting his way.

But this time - when his playmate saw him - she joined him for the head banging as well.  I thought maybe he would realize how silly he looked and stop - but nope - he just joined in and banged his head with her.

 

They finally stopped, and the kissing began.  At first JT was not so sure about it

but then he seemed to enjoy it just a bit too much.

Thank goodness he let her know "enough is enough"

JT finally got so exhausted that he was willing to take a nap, despite the fact that he had someone to play with besides mommy.  He got a kiss night-night from his friend and FINALLY took a much needed nap. 

I think all in all - the play date went well and we are hoping for many more to follow.
