Trains and Gladiators at Marbles

It was a cool, drizzly day, so we took the munchkins to Marbles for the morning. Zac and Alice went off to play upstairs, while I stayed with Simon at the train table downstairs. He played there for a really long time. He would be in his own zone for a while, then watch what another kid was doing and imitate him.



We hadn't planned on a playdate, but just by coincidence Grayson and his parents came to Marbles that morning too. 

Alice and Grayson get along so well, and it was fun to see them organically come up with games and activities together. For example, they used the large blocks to build a balance beam, and then later played gladiators.
 



Simon sat in my lap snacking most of the time, but he also climbed around, and made faces with Grayson's dad.
