Some friends of ours, Jeremy and Tamera, have just moved to Burney...and with them their not-quite-15-month old daughter, Brooke. Tamera bought Brooke over for a play date on Wednesday - what a blast! After Hayden had recovered from his shock of someone else raiding his toys (!), he settled right down and shared his toys and played with Brooke. Brooke took custody of Hayden's juice cup and Hayden took her milk cup in exchange. They shared snacks (Hayden had more fun poking snacks into Brooke's mouth than eating them himself - she seemed to agree with the system!) and "talked on the phone." At one point, they had gone very quiet and came back to Hayden's bedroom with water everywhere - Brooke had it all over her face and Hayden's pants were wet - they had decided to take a swim in the dog water bowl!
The great thing, though, is (as you can see from the picture of Tamera above) that Tamera and Jeremy are using sign language with Brooke too. As a result, Hayden was able to interact with Tamera right from the start...it seemed to ease any discomfort he may have had around a stranger.
It is very exciting to have a friend for Hayden - Welcome to the area, Jeremy, Tamera and Brooke!!
