Cousins and Best Friends

Xander has been asking lately, "Where's my Bailey?" and the answer, for the last two days, is here! Bailey and Xander play together almost perfectly. As perfectly as three-year-olds can. They've baked cakes in the backyard, pushed each other on swings, played dinosaurs and mythical beasts together, and taken baths. I even heard Bailey say this morning that she wanted to play princess and then she asked, "You want to play princess, Xander?" and Xander nodded and said, "Play!"

Unfortunately, it looks like Xander will get his cousin sick again. We all assumed it was allergies because he's had similar symptoms for about a month without acting sick. This afternoon he got a fever and told me he had a sore throat. Poor baby. Now he can't "pet Foster" like he wanted to. We are trying to keep him away from babies and baby toys but it's pretty much all up for Bailey. On top of all the playing and bathing they've been doing, and the fact that Bailey's been sleeping in Xander's bed, she also likes to kiss Xander.

Foster and Nick had their first playing session. We laid them both down on a blanket and Nick grabbed Foster by the collar. Later I held Nick over Foster's face and Foster loved that! Put a big old smile on his face. Nick thinks it's amusing, too, but he has some trouble concentrating on any one baby.
