Best Friends

I really do like that our kids are so close in age.  Vaden and Asher are 17 months apart and Emmet and Kelen are also 17 months apart.  This makes is easy for them to be best friends.  All four of our kids are all within 5 years of each other so they make a great group together.

 Emmet and Kelen have really started showing a lot more interest in each other.  They are still babies, but are learning to play together.

 Of course, this means they are getting in trouble together too:)  Emmet gets really excited when Kelen wakes up from his nap and likes to pretend to tickle Kelen and get right in his face.  It is super cute.

I can't wait to see their relationship develop as they get older and start doing more things together and start talking!

Here's all four kids playing together.  I like that they are young enough and close enough in age they they all like doing the same things still.

 

 Asher and Vaden are best friends too.  They've had a little more time to know each other, but they love each other.

 They love doing new things together.

 They sit together in the car and have the funniest conversations.  They both enjoy playing together, going to school, going to gymnastics, and playing with friends.  While they have their own friends that they play with, they also play with each other and their friends.

Here are all the kids at gymnastics.

 They all love their classes (though Kelen doesn't take a class yet, but he gets to play during open gym).

 Vaden is taking a pre-ballet class that she loves to learn new dance moves.

 Asher is playing hide and seek.  He is in a sports gymnastics class that he loves to learn new sports and just goof around.

 Emmet just started a mommy-and-me class. He absolutely loves it.  He loves having some one on one time with me too.  It's at times like those that I realize he really is the middle child and may not get as much attention and he needs.  He LOVES the ball pit!

The kids all love to play.  Kelen decided he didn't like the ball pit after all because every time the kids moved, he would sink a little bit more.  Probably pretty scary for him.  I love letting my kids experience fun kid moments:)
