First glimpse of friendship

Yesterday morning Mia and Lennon actually kind of played together for a minute.  She was playing with this little toy xylaphone (sp?)  and he would crawl across the room to get it and she would pick it up and move across the room.  Then he would laugh and crawl to wherever she had moved and so on.  They played like this while she moved back and forth across the room maybe 5 or 6 times.  It was really cute and Lennon was just laughing and really enjoying the game.  

Then today I took both kids to the science museum after church while Shelby napped because he was starting to feel sick.  Yes, again!!!  Anyway, we had a really good time.  Lennon actually explored some things on his own while Mia was doing her usual thing.  We sat all three together and explored different rocks and stones, examined sea shells and star fish and looked in a bee's view mirror that made it look like there were nine of each of us.  Lennon especially liked the mirror.  After Lennon and I pretty much followed Mia around for a while, she came with us into the under 12 months room and we played in there for quite some time.  Lennon really enjoyed himself and Mia crawled around on the floor with him showing him different new things to handle and yes, chew on.  I can't even imagine all the germs that were on them, but sometimes you just gotta chalk it up to building the immune system.  It was lots of fun, but after 3 hours Lennon had finally had enough and we headed home.  Unfortunately Shelby wasn't feeling any better and it actually looks like he is coming down with something pretty nasty.  I don't know what's going on around here, but if we don't all stop getting sick I'm going to start thinking it's something in the house.
