Friendship Is Rare, Do you Know What I'm Saying...

Beni and his homey are getting real close. It is beginning to become a relationship. You can almost sense the excitement when they see eachother. Although Greyson is still in 24/7 nap mode (I'm beginning to think that his parents really take to heart the whole, sleeping induces growth theory), those few minutes of playtime the two guys get is really looking good.

They show-off how high they can jump in the Jumping-Machine, see who can cry and scream the loudest, and from what I can see in this picture above, they criticize eachothers toys.
"Oh my gosh", says Benicio, "you are not rolling around in the 2004 version of that walker. I'd rather breast feed 'til I was 10 than be seen in that - actually, I'd rather breast feed 'til I'm 10 period. I mean Imagine that, breast-feeding 'til your 10...I hear that stuff has mass vitamins yo'...what was I talking about?"

It's nice to see this kind of comeraderie blossom in front of my eyes. It's like seeing the pilot episode of Perfect Strangers...I mean, you know Balki and Larry just clicked instantly and that first episode must have been the spawn of perfection (pun intended). Imagine being the director, "Okay, Balki...we need you and Larry to have a sort of...celebratory dance...something only you two do together." And thus, the "Dance of Joy" was born.

It won't be too long until Grey-Dog starts crawling (personally I'm surprised he hasn't started yet but don't tell his Dad that) and the two start taking strolls along the boardwalk, scoping the beautiful babies and playing blind-mans-bluff or whatever kids do these days. It's gonna be nice to see. And don't even get me started on the first time Benicio dunks on Greyson's head, then pushes him off while he runs down the court screaming "In yo' Face"!
