First play date, anyway. Sure, she has been to Mommy & Me and several different playgroups, but this was her first solo play date with a boy. I was watching Brandon for our friends Jen and Mitch so Ana had her very first date. And Momma realized that mothers of multiples must be miracle workers!

It was so much fun watching the difference in personalities. Ana is almost six months and Brandon is 11 months old, but their personalities are already so distinct. Ana was perfectly content to just chill and watch Brandon, while he was much more hands on and into everything. Oh and the fact that he is mobile didn’t hurt either.

Man, oh man, is there a difference between boys and girls! Every time I put something away, Brandon was very quick to dump over the toy box. And don’t even think about lining up the toy cars! It almost became a game–Brandon and I would race to see if I could clean something up faster than he could destroy it. I will be the first to admit that I didn’t stand a chance of winning.

But the kiddos had a great time. Ana watched Brandon very intently, absorbing every little thing he did as if she were making mental notes of what she could get away with in a few months. Brandon was very sweet and kept trying to share toys with Ana. And if she didn’t take it on his first attempt he was perfectly happy to keep poking her with the toy until she took it.

You can see all the pictures from their playdate here. Enjoy.
