Toddlers have interesting friendships

Meet Cash:

Cash is Syphr's best friend. It might not be noticeable when he is screaming "NO CASH!!!" in his angry voice, but he really does love his friend. They like to play together, yet know exactly what to do to make the other crazy. It wasn't until recently that Cash really figured out what would make Syphr the most angry, and he was spot on. The thing that steams Syphr up most is when Cash touches his babies. Often, Cash will wait until Syphr turns his back, grab a baby and run while periodically looking back, waiting for Syphr to notice and chase him down. Sy regains possession of his baby and all is well again. 

On this particular day, I told Syphr at snack time that Cash was coming over to play. His eyes grew wide and he said, "yay! Cash!!" as he looked out the window to see if he could spot him toddling down the sidewalk. Then, his head made a very sharp shift to the right, he got out of his chair almost in a panic and ran to the slide where his babies were taking a nap. He grabbed all four babies in his arms, climbed up the rock wall to the top of the slide, still clinging to all babies, and still with wide eyes. The top of the slide is the perfect spot to watch out the open window. He gave me a quick glance, and must have been worried I was not as on guard as he was, because, at that moment, Syphr said his first complete two sentence exclamation. 

"HURRY MOMMY!! CASH IS COMING!!"
