Do you want to play?

Immediately before I took this photo Daniel had finished off two whole pancakes and, as you can see, was well on his way to finishing a third.  It's just the two of us this morning, it was kind of a rough night and Daniel needed to get up pretty early, so we let everyone else sleep in.

Anyway, he's pretty pleased with himself now, so he decided it was time to play a bit.  He grabbed his two busses and then played out this exchange all on his own:

School Bus:  Hey City Bus?  Do you want to play?
City Bus:  Yes! 

And then they started zooming around the plate and occasionally crashing into each other while Daniel narrated "Oh NO!"

This is the first time I've noticed him playing this way, having his toys communicate amongst themselves with a cooperative dialogue.  It's pretty cool.  I mean, he's done this before, but only when he sees James doing it first, then he'll mimic (as well as he is able) whatever story James is telling with his toys.  He sure looks up to his big brother.

And while I've been writing this, there was another bit of conversation:

City Bus:  Hey School Bus?  Do you want to jump?
School Bus:  Yes!
