I just love my boys right now. As challenging as the preschool years are (seriously, where does all that energy come from?), the boys are finally at the age where they can play together well and communicate. And it is wonderful to see how much they love each other.
Button is old enough to really be a good playmate for Buddy. They just adore one another and almost feel lost without one another. I'm glad we are homeschooling because I think if they were separated for school next year it would be traumatic. Buddy has come to look forward to his times with Button. He's sad when he's napping because he wants to play with him. He saves spots for him on toys on the playground and sometimes gets upset if another little kid comes to join him instead of his little brother. "Mom! He's not part of our family!" (At which point, I have to remind him that all the toys at the playground are for everyone...)
They are even in the same childcare area at the YMCA now. I sort of expected to usually find them doing their own things when I pick them up after my workout, but most of the time, I find that they are together. I just love seeing them enjoy each other. Of course, there are the fights, but for the most part, its a wonderful blossoming friendship. =)
