Sean Has Fun at Burger King
January 21, 2005 on 9:49 pm | In Main |We made our usual trip to Burger King this evening. There were two families in the play area when we arrived, and one left shortly. The family remaining had a girl who was two to three years older than Sean. Sean and the girl played for a long time together.
I witnessed an exchange between Sean and the girl that amazed me. Apparently, Sean and the girl were pretending to by dinosaurs, and they were roaring at each other. The girl was louder and better at it than Sean, and Sean became uncomfortable with her doing that to him. Sean clearly told the girl that he did not like that, and he wanted her to stop. The girl did not, but then Sean suggested that they go play in the ball pit, to which she agreed. I guess what amazed me was that Sean understood his own feelings, was able to communicate them to someone else, then redirect the other person to do what he wanted. I guess it doesn’t sound like such a big deal now that I am writing about it, but I don’t think I could have done that when I was Sean’s age.
Ethan had fun playing too, and we made a brief stop to Toys R Us on the way home. I though Sean and Ethan would have fun playing on the train table there, but instead they quickly started running off in different directions, so we had to leave. We still managed to arrive home close to bed time, so Cortney had her full break.
