We bring our kids out and about since they’re very little (like, a few weeks old). And they’ve been carried by SO many different people too (who are obviously ’strangers’ in the eyes of our little ones).

To us, we believe it’s important for our kids to spend lots of quality time with the people at home. For them to feel secure and loved.

But other than that, we feel little children needs to also go out and see other people of different races and looks. To be exposed to a whole different range of social experience.

And so anyway we went over to Nic’s place today … and Vai got to spend some playtime with Will (only 9 days older than Vai). Giving his social skills a little practice too.

Children at this age, though side by side, tend to focus and play with the toys surrounding them. Not really ‘with each other’. Yet. But frankly it was interesting to see how both Vai and Will interacted with each other (they both first met about 4 months ago. No interaction at that age, obviously).

Vai kinda went around and explored the home (heading towards the shoes section quite a number of times!) and Will liked to grab, hug and bring Vai to his mouth whenever he’s near him. Hehe.

Ah. I wonder how it’d be like the next time they get to play with each other again.

Always an interesting discovery for both the kids and the parents.
