Friendly Behavior?

So do you think it's safe to say that Everett hasn't quite figured out how to play with other kids yet? We had a wonderful visit from our pals, the Lunts, before Thanksgiving. They have two adorable kiddos, Olivia and Carter. Everett wasn't sure what to do with 3 month old Carter, and 34 month old Olivia really wasn't an Everett fan. Can you guess why?
He went from tugging on Carter's leg...

to ignoring Olivia...

to completely invading Olivia's personal space...

To ignoring them both and playing by himself and with his friend the refrigerator.

**So any ideas on helping Everett be more kid friendly??

reagan has some kid friendly issues too, like "why are you playing with my toys and eating my snacks?". the ymca has been our lifesaver. we go everyday just for reagan interaction. he still doesn't love other kids, but he no longer screams at them, hides from them or takes their toys away. nursery is still a terror though.

Stop feeding him Big Macs...it's his size that was so intimidating to little Olivia. jk We had a good visit too.

Cute Friends!!!
It looks like he just forgot how wonderful his friend where! No big worries, he just needs lots more friends and playtime maybe! Who knows all little kids are funny sometimes.
I'm so glad you guys could get together though. It looked like fun! We can't wait to see you all soon hopefully! :] I've loved all of your other posts too-such fun and super cute photos!

Love, Chelsea

Cute kids. Kids are funny - i wonder what my social skills were like when i was 1 or 2 or 3...

It would be interesting to go back and observe to see if it's similar to who I am now.

Dang Nat, Everett is getting so big. He is way cute. I am glad you found my new blog... it has been a long time since I last posted. Yes, I am coming to Atlanta for Christmas. My parents are moving to New York, so it is going to probably be my last southern Christmas :(.
