Creatures Great And Small...

I think we've turned the corner with Z and Jacques. Up until the last few days, most of Zola's interaction with Jacques has been to walk over to him on occasion, and kind of thoughtlessly, unmaliciously whack him on the top of his head. (Is there anything more casually cruel than a toddler?)

But recently, Z's been tentatively making grabs for Jacque's toys; and now she plays tug-of-war with him. He's been so gentle with her, that I think she's starting to realize just what "play" means.

She'll pull, and pull, and Jacques will be pulling back, and finally she'll fall on her butt and start...laughing. Up until a week ago, any time she was thwarted, she would either start crying, or baying for blood.

When did this happen?
