Playing Together

I knew that David and Carly would not begin playing together as soon as he was born, but I was surprised to see it start today.  David was on his activity map and began kicking his legs.  This triggers music to play to help develop the idea of cause and effect.  While he was doing this Carly was bouncing around from toy to toy, not really settling on anything.  Unfortunately, every kick to the mat does not trigger music and David has not yet learned that each animal character sports the sensors.  However, when he would actually trigger the music to play Carly would stop what she was doing and begin dancing all around.  I encouraged her to move over some so that David could watch her dance.  David began kicking harder (maybe dancing too?) and smiling and cooing at his big sister.  This lasted at least 10 minutes - which is a LONG time in our world.
