Alex attended a group birthday party last night for the kids in the mom's group we crashed. I was impressed by his willingness to share toys. Well, allow them to be taken away and then take them back again. But he didn't cry. During the adult dinnertime, I was sitting on the couch and he pulled up so I gave him a taste of mashed potatoes. He really liked them and kept opening his mouth for more. When I ran out he was very sad until I came back with more. He even cruised the couch for the first time to get closer! Yay Alex! During the birthday cupcake extravaganza (plastic tablecloths on the floor, 4 babies and a cupcake cake (have you seen those? they're so cool)) we didn't put him into the mix. He's not 1 and we didn't think he should be getting into the sugar yet. So while the kids were busy sticking their hands into the icing, and in one case doing a really nice job of painting her face blue, Alex was searching through the toy basket. Phil and I were so proud, he kept looking until he found a book! Then he sat down and read the book to himself.

Good for you, Alex! Books can be considered toys, too!
