Playing Well With Others

Margaret is, as everyone who has seen her at a party knows, a social little person.  When she gets a little fussy, a surefire cure is to take her to the grocery store where she can watch and hear all the people going about their business.  People make her happy.

But we have been introducing her to a person her age, and – while they do seem to enjoy themselves when together – they mix it up a little.

They started off playing nicely, each with their own ring.

And then they saw another toy in the distance, and went for it.  They’ve been playing with this activity table, but getting a little shovey over who gets to push the red button that makes it play music.

And just now as I wrote this, Margaret lost her cell phone (old one with no battery) because she was paying insufficient attention to it.  Got to hold on with both hands, kid.  Both hands.
