Playing together

Ben and Ethan are 20 months old. Developmentally, they are not expected to play together. Most of the time they do not play together. They play alone, they play with us, they play next to each other or they fight over toys, but they do not often play together. Apparently, toddlers don’t start playing with other toddlers until they are about 3yrs old.

Below is a video of them playing together. Ben is sitting in his Tonka dump truck and Ethan is walking around. They are playing with a very small stone. Ben is dropping it, and Ethan is picking it up and giving it back to him. This may not seem like much, but usually one boy would hold on to the treasured item and not give it away. It’s nice when they playing like this and sharing.
