Zoe and Finn are starting to play together.. and never more so than when one of them is presented with some kind of opposition. Today I took them to the cupcake store (it serves mini cupcakes to suite any child's fancy, as well as good coffees for adults)... there was a boy..about 3 or perhaps younger.. who kind of pushed a toy (in not a nice way) towards Finn. Upon seeing this Zoe stomped over and gave him the evil eye... then Finn chipped in.. shoulders wide... and gave a pushing motion (without contact).. and it seemed to escalate from there... not long and the little boy in question was under the table and not happy...
I was proud of their banding together.. but had to take them out of the store before it escalated.
In the car I told Zoe that it was quiet time and Finn needed to nap. Zoe protested long and hard... "No, Finn doesn't want to nap. Tell mom no nap. Don't you want to be my friend Finn. Finn can't be my friend if he is napping. Tell mom no nap"
Now they are in the bedroom playing something about boats, islands and getting dressed up in outfits.

The only thing I neglected was when they start to band together against me...
