Maeve and Josie are still in the parallel play stage, each happily in their own zone. Rarely interacting with one another even when mom puts down a toy bin for both to play with. The only time I see them interact during these play sessions is when one snatches a toy from the other and then it becomes a skirmish to see who gets to keep that toy. I have read that by 2-3 years old toddlers are starting to notice one another and the mutual give and take of interactive play should begin. My girls are definitely delayed in that aspect of development and may never fully develop extremely strong social skills but as long as they maintain non-aggressive parallel play I am happy as a clam with that!
