The Doublemint Twins

Max had another encounter with his cousin Joseph yesterday. He and I spent the day with Joey and his mom (Ian's sister Jean). Unlike their last meeting, when their interest in each other was limited to half-hearted glances and the occasional face-poke, the cousins got very excited upon catching each others' eye. They both smiled, giggled, and reached out to touch one another's hair, which raised the cuteness levels dangerously high. When Grandma Tillman got home from work and found both her grandsons at home, she narrowly escaped bursting with the excitement of it all.



While Joey and Max seem to like each other a lot, we did catch a glimpse of what their two-year old interactions might be like. Max brought some of his toys to 'share' with Joseph. Notice that Max has all the toys in his lap.

Now look! Joseph appears to have commandeered the stash of toys. Max is becoming less and less sure about this sharing thing.

Max attempts to hoard some of the toys behind his back, to be played with later, when Joseph isn't looking.
