PlayTime with Cecilia "Sissy"

Elem and Cecilia are becoming more and more obsessed with each other every single day. It is so fun to see their friendship grow and see how they interact every time they get together. Luckily, for them, that is just about every day-at least for an hour or so. Usually, Grammy picks Elem up from school on her way home around 4:30pm and heads off to her house so Elem can see Poppa and spend a little time with the grandparents before either Seth or I get there to pick him up! However, when one of us arrives to pick him up, there is usually at least one if not both of them, whining about us having to leave. So we often hear:
"I wan go bye bye sissy house" or "wan bye bye zane" which translated means, I wanna go bye bye to sissy's house and I wanna go bye bye with Elem zane. We usually end up giving in and letting them hang out for a few more minutes after that at either our house or Ali and Dustin's.

They are for sure two peas in a pod but at the same time, they are just so totally different. Elem is very much the leader in the relationship. He seems to take control of all situations and be the one to decide which toys he is going to play with, which ones he is not going to share, which room they will play in, and where they will play outside. Cecilia is the more passive when they are together, although when she is on her own she is more take charge. So it is funny to see them fall in their roles when they meet up. They are also very verbal with each other, asking each other questions, repeating what one another is saying, and telling each other silly things when they are together. I LOVE LOVE LOVE to watch them communicate when they are off in a room by themselves. Yesterday I was watching them in Grammy and Poppas bedroom while they looked out the window at the pool. They both were talking about the "wawa out-tide"-water outside-and then started giggling hysterically.

They both love to blow bubbles


Jump off the couch or chairs


Play with pretend kitchen food and accessories


And go for rides on the four wheeler


"Wor whidda" as Elem likes to call it! The picture above is one of my faves-because it happens all the time. Since they are both only children, we only have one four wheeler at each house. But of course they both want to ride on it when at the other's house. So Elem of course gets control and it is ALWAYS his turn. And it works out to his advantage because sissy can just jump on the back and hitch a ride while he is going.

One of their latest "thing" to do together is actually really puzzeling to me and I have been grosed out by it for about a month now. But they like to go in the play house at Sissy's and close the door to play inside. Then before you know it, they have been in their talking, and squatting...and pooping together! What in the world. ????? Then I caught them the other day telling each other they were pooping, and they continue to do it together at the same time. How weird is that? Anybody else ever heard of that? So grose! But still so funny and cute all at the same time. haha!
