Today we were happy to have company in Amy, Koen, and Tavin, who came over to visit after Porter's morning nap. The Melders have been relatively homebound lately due to a yucky stomach bug, but are finally healthy again and ready to play!
Telling my boys they get some time with their buddies!
Spelling practice while we waited for them to arrive.
When Amy and the kiddos got here, Koen made himself right at home playing with toys. We all stayed upstairs in the living room while Porter ate. Then it was Tavin's turn to nap in the pack n play, and the rest of us headed down to the basement for more playtime. Koen and Kaiser kept themselves very busy with our Thomas train tracks while the mommies caught up with each other.

Koen wanted to stop for a snack and was kind enough to share one of his string cheeses with Kaiser. My boy was much obliged.
Koen would only let the camera nab his reflection.
During our time downstairs, Baby Brother was a sweetie and just hung out for about an hour (requiring some attention here and there, of course!) until it was time for him to nap again.

My favorite part of the morning was when Amy ran upstairs for a minute. I was sitting on the couch with Porter, and Koen came over to sit in the armchair beside us. Here is the exchange that followed:
Koen: "Ah, Miss Kyndal, would you like to have a conversation?"
Me: "Absolutely, Koen. What would you like to talk about?"
Koen: "Well, let's see...what kinds of stuff do you have in your house?"
Me: "Well, I bet we've got lots of the same things you have in your house. In the bedrooms there are beds, in the living room we have a couch..."
Koen (nodding, with his chin resting on his palm): "Mmm hmmm, mmm hmmm..."
At this point, Amy returned, and our conversation ended. I was holding back laughter, so tickled by such grownup questions from my favorite almost-4-year-old!
Not long after that, we all went back upstairs so the boys could have lunch. Kaiser opted not to sit in his high chair, and instead enjoyed sitting in a big kitchen chair like Koen. When they had finished eating, the buds headed back downstairs to play for a bit longer while Tavin took his turn eating lunch.
He loves having Koen over!
Amy and the boys headed home around 1pm, and within the hour it was time for Kaiser's and Porter's afternoon naps. I hope the Melder boys were as worn out and slept as well as the Braly boys! We're thankful for a fun morning playdate with our dear friends. Helps these winter days pass by much more quickly!
