We need to get Nicholas some more playmates. He is amazingly engaged with older children, and seems to thrive on their level of activity. We went to church this morning, and decided to take him to the cry room (or the "Growing-in-Faith Room," as our church terms it). He's been getting progressively fussier each week at church as he naps a little less, and just gets bored when he has to sit there and no one (alas!) is paying any attention to him.
We were the first ones in the room, so he was fine for the first few minutes. Then a little girl and her father came in, and he was captivated. He followed her across the room as she went to get a book to read with her dad, and just watched her. Nicholas also enjoyed watching a not-very-well-behaved little boy (maybe 2 or 3 years old) who would run across the length of the room. At one point, the boy was climbing along the kneelers in one of the rows, and Nicholas started flailing in my arms, stiffening his legs, to the point where I told him (in a stage whisper), "You can't walk yet!" The boy's mother heard me and chuckled.
As a final note (and I'm not sure how this is even possible), Sarah is even more excited now about our upcoming weekend in Cincinnati with her college roommate's kids (4, 2, 7 months). Can't wait to see how Nicholas interacts with them.
