Play Date

Gavin had a play date with Jay yesterday.

Tasha and Jay arrive.
Gavin: Come and see my room! (Gavin says this to every single person who comes in the door). I have new cars! (he doesn't)

Tasha: So when should I pick him up?
Me: Oh, a couple of hours at least. Let them have a good play..
Tasha: Ok, see you in a while!

The two of them take off screaming into Gavin's room and immediately there is a loud BANG! I go in and I see Gavin holding a toy bus over his head getting ready to throw it at Jay. Jay is grinning as if to say "bring it on!" Gavin looks at me guiltily.
Me: Ok guys, we're not going to throw toys.
Gavin slowly lowers the bus.

I leave the room again.
BANG! CRASH!
I go back in. Every single toy is on the the floor, toy bins are all over the place and the two of them are attempting to play with each and every toy in rapid succession. I check my watch. The play date is officially 3 whole seconds old.

Mark: Hey, let's set up the tent!
He sets up the tent in the middle of the mess.
The boys play in it for another 3 seconds or so.

Gavin: Mom, can we have a snack?
I hook them up with fruit bars and cheesies and plonk them on the couch to watch a movie.
Snacks are gone in under a minute, I swear to God. It's like these kids are on speed!

We are now like, 5 minutes in.

I'll spare you the minute by minute but basically, they go back into Gavin's room, and Gavin gets 3 time outs for throwing buses etc. at Jayden. Yogurt gets eaten, there is discussion about cake being a good supper option, they watch a movie (well, I use the term"watch" loosely).

Overall, a great play date. These two are so, so funny together.

Best conversation of the day:
Gavin: Jay what do you like to eat for supper?
Jay: Cake!
Gavin: Hmmm...we don't have anyfing to make a cake.
Jay (disappointed): oh...
Gavin: But sometimes Jeff and Kelly bring cake!
Jay (hopeful): oh!
Me: Guys, there's not going to be any cake
Gavin: We have yogurt!
Jay: Ohhhh!!!!
Yogurts all around...
