Jayden was quite interested in the newcomer as well. She peered at him, intent on discovering who he was and what he was doing in her playroom. Deciding that the handsome lad was harmless, she gave his head a little pat - just as she'd seen her nannies do to other little ones.
Patting his head, she considered his potential as a playmate. He passed. Her patting intensified as she made friends until the nanny had to stop her. "Be gentle, Jayden! He's little. Don't hit him." She stopped... maybe she would have to find someone else to romp with until he had finished eating.

Ajay, who still spends his time upstairs, comes down quite often to play with the other children. He had missed his roommate, Caleb, but didn't think too much of it. The other day, though, while playing with his favorite toys downstairs, someone got in his way. Ajay was about to crawl around the little boy sitting in his path when he took a look at his face.
Ajay stared.
Then he engulfed Caleb in a bear hug.
After giving Caleb's head a little pat Ajay moved along, oblivious to our chuckles at the cute scene.

Could they be any cuter?

What a charmer!
ReplyDeleteI just love those babies! I remember praying for Caleb! Thank you God for 'play-dates' and pats on heads and Ajay-hugs!
ReplyDeleteAHHHH!!!! I'm so glad that he's settling in downstairs. Sounds like so much fun and cuteness :)
ReplyDeleteGreat writing Hannah, I especially liked "Patting his head, she considered his potential as a playmate. He passed. Her patting intensified as she made friends until the nanny had to stop her."
That's very sweet about the hug. Joel had a moment like that with Joy right before I left, he just stared and kept repeating her name :)
