Tristan came over on Thursday night (12/3) as mom and dad were going to the Microsoft Christmas party. He was a bit home sick at first, getting tearing up every few minutes asking for mama. Andy became extra gentle trying to comfort him and wiping his tears. Tristan quickly warmed up and joined the cooking watching party and ate the stir fry heartly.

They played the wooden puzzles and drew after dinner. It was interesting to observe kids having different ways of doing puzzles. Andy does one puzzle at a time while Tristan tries to fill all pieces of one shape first (i.e. works on multiple puzzles simultaneously). They also have different drawing styles. Andy likes to make outlines of molds (e.g. put his hand on the board and trace or ask me to trace) while Tristan likes to draw free styled.
Tristan usually goes to bed after 9 but he sure got on Andy's schedule tonight. The two read a bit and went down after 8 to everyone's surprise!
Tristan chose to sleep on the big bed (and Andy decided to join shortly after) so both slept side by side: "Never mind the crib mattress set up on the floor, we are babies no longer..."
Tristan had some good influence on Andy the next morning. Instead of calling for attention when he woke up, Andy saw Tristan and turned all cheerful.
It was a fun adventure for both kids and adults!
