Together alone

This is Liam and his little friend Ryan, who came for a playdate yesterday. And this photo pretty much sums up the playdate: the two of them each doing their own thing. (With Captain spying on them from a distance.) In the same room, mind you, but doing their own thing. Chad and I are not the most social of people so I suppose it would be foolish to expect that of Liam, but really - is this common? When will he start playing with other kids?

Also, Ryan is three weeks younger than Liam, but you would never know it. He's about two or three inches taller and in this photo he looks like he's practically head and shoulders above Liam! Liam is by no means a little shrimp, but Ryan is definitely a big boy.

Anyway, we're about to run out the door to get Mallory her 4-month shots. Ugh. Not a good day. Poking my children with sharp objects and pumping them full burning chemical cocktails is really not my idea of a good time. I already have a story to share about today's vaccination adventure... hopefully soon....
