personality differences




thomas has love-hate relationships only with certain friends, not all. for some reason, he just fights more with certain ones. this is chad. they are only 2 weeks apart and they fight all the time!!! i managed to catch this one relatively peaceful moment where both of them where enjoying their lollipops. of course, this is after thomas stole chad's lollipop. one of my friends actually caught him in he act in the top pic :) such a funny picture!
he was casing out the situation with chad, waiting until chad was relaxed, then struck like a predator. grabbed the lollipop and ran off with it. as thomas ran to the kitchen, he looked up at me excitedly, while running to me, "look mommee, i have a yellow lollipop!" of course, by this time chad was hot on his heels, so i quickly said " that's very nice thomas, but i think chad wants his lollipop back. i have a new one for you." i quickly pulled it out of thomas' hand, gave it back to chad who was now crying uncontrollably. chad stopped crying and i handed thomas his own lollipop. chad was happy, thomas was happy and all was well. they walked back to the living room together and sat down next to each other to enjoy their respective treats.



this is my favorite group of moms from my mom's group. i know it is bad of me to have a preference, but can't help it. this one particular group really clicks. this was our last meeting for the summer and we had a baby shower for one that is pregnant. as you can see, we got really creative making little boy outfits out of just tissue paper and tape. fun!
starting this week, 3 of them have their kids in preschool, all on slightly different schedules, so the likelihood of us all getting together again is pretty slim. we'll still meet for playdates, just not with all 8 of us...
