Wake Forest: Part Three

One of the highlights of our visit to NC was meeting up with my old colleagues from Franklin Academy. Christina & Margaret were both 6th grade teachers at FA, where I taught Spanish. Christina wasn't even married yet when I first met her (she got married over Fall trackout of that year). The next school year we were all pregnant at the same time with our first babies, along with friends Krista and Jennifer. Here we are at our 5-way baby shower in the spring of 2006: All three of us were pregnant with our second babies at the same time as well! Now we have expanded from 3 to 9!! Wow! Here we are (Leah w/ Samuel & Joel, Christina w/ Will & Adeline, and Margaret w/ Meredith & Jonathan): Samuel had a great time playing with Will (well, with Will's toys to be more exact!). It was pretty funny to see the two of them interact. They both learned a new word: Share. They were sitting on the floor taking a toy back and forth between them saying "Share." And they were competing over the red Pottery Barn chair and the little chair at the coloring table. If one was sitting on the red chair, the other would run in and sit on the little chair and vice versa. Pretty cute. Here they are together: They did have fun together though. They loved chasing each other around the house:

And the funniest part of all is that when we got home I noticed that Samuel had a new toy. He STOLE Will's Little People toy from their house!! (Note to Christina: this will be going in the mail back to you this week!). Here is a little video of Samuel with what is known as "Wa Toe" (Will's Toy) around our house:

To us, it looks like Will was sharing with Samuel. He may not have known that he was sharing, but Samuel was simply helping him learn to share his toys.

I can justify anything.
