Playdate with Ava and Meeting Someone New

Zander had a playdate with his friend Ava this morning. My friend Amanda came over with her 2 daughters, Ava and Audrey. Ava is 2 months older than Zander. And Audrey is only 6 weeks old. This is the first time I met Audrey. The playdate was a little rough. Ava and Zander fought over a couple of toys. Zander has some push toys that he got from my mom that absolutely loves. Well, Ava loves them too. First, Ava wanted both of them, and every time Zander would try to take one of them Ava would cry. Ava wanted both of them even if they were just by her side and she wasn't using them. Kids at this age don't really understand sharing yet. We were able to distract them, but then they fought over a puppy dog. I had a solution for that. Zander has 2 of these toys that are similar, a puppy dog by Fisher Price and then "Scout" by Leap Frog. Apparently that did not completely take away the crying. Oh well. It was so nice to meet Audrey. After an hour or 2 we went and got some lunch and then ate at the park. It is soooooo hot and humid today.  We only lasted about 45 minutes at the park, and we all were drenched in sweat by the end of our park time. I didn't get many pictures of Zander and Ava because most of the playdate at our house either one or both of the kids were crying.

Both Zander and Ava wanted the puppy dog
And in the left of this picture are the other 2 toys they fought over earlier.


Zander gave up on the puppy dog, but Ava has tears in her eyes.

Oh, I forgot, they fought over the sprinkler too.  After a while all Amanda and I could do was laugh. 



I hope next time they get along better.  We did have fun at the park.
