At 18 months we are really starting to see true interaction between Lars and Odin. They've always interacted with each other, but we are now starting to see true playing together and the beginnings of empathy. They play peek a boo with each other and it is hilarious! They hide behind the couch and then pop up and scream with laughter as soon as they catch sight of the other. A few days ago Odin was SCREAMING bloody murder while I was changing his diaper and Lars walked over with two trucks in his hands (gold in this house) and tried to give one to Odin to make him feel better. That made my month! To see the beginnings of empathy...well, it makes me tear up to think about it. That's not to say we don't see toy stealing and pushing each other out of the way to get what they want, but luckily that usually only happens when little boys are hungry or tired.
I was able to catch some of the recent fun interaction with my phone video camera. Lars was reaching over to take food off of Odin's tray and wasn't having any luck, so Odin decided to share. The best part of it is the high five they give each other!
