Peas and Carrots

January 2010

Since her third day on Earth, Peyton has been best friends with Amber. Amber, who is ten weeks older than Peyton, lives a few doors down, and the two girls have been inseperable since birth. It started out with innocent play dates.

But the two have grown quite accustomed to each other. Peyton (or Pey-eh as Amber calls her) is so attached to Amber (Ber) now, she stands outside her front door every night asking for her to come outside. If she isn't home or is eating dinner, Peyton throws a fit.

"Can Amber please come out and play?"

Now that the weather is nice, our nightly ritual includes about 45 minutes of play time outside - the two girls toddle about the neighborhood, usually cruise around in some apparatus (either the pink the car, the trike, or the wagon), and try not to fall down the drain.

Like any true friendship, this one has seen it's share of ups and downs. The two fight over puffs, snack traps, corn poppers, wagon seats, water, juice, and balls. And as this video shows, they sometimes don't agree on what is the proper way to play with an inflatable pool.

But the bottom line is, these two hell raisers are buddies...through thick and thin.
