Adi & Mae are playing together more and more. Now that they can talk to each other, we love listening to what they tell each other (often parroting what we say to them). And if I'm busy, they will play our version of chase/hide & seek (otherwise known as "you get me") or push each other around in the laundry basket or take care of their babies together.
During independent playtime ("crib time"), Mae often climbs into Adi's crib (not really allowed) and, amazingly, they will play happily together there. One day I came into find that they had traded much of their clothing.
Of course, it's not all fun and games. In fact, "you get me" often ends up with tears. They seem to instantly escalate to screaming when one takes the other's toy and we are dealing with hitting, pushing and the occasional biting.
But we have been pleasantly surprised by how much they really interact-- not just parallel play-- and invent games together.

Paddling their boats
Ring around the rosy; The girls call it ashes.
