I took a nap and was a good girl at school today because I was promised a visit from one of my best friends…Ellie! Mommy and I came home and hung out for a while, then Ellie showed up with her Mommy, Daddy, and baby brother Eli! Nobody would have expected the fun we would have together.
We immediately latched on to each other and didn’t separate for the next 4 hours. We went straight upstairs and played dress up, played with the Little People houses, the easel, balls, puppies, and just about every other toy in the wagon. Next, we headed for bed…not to sleep, but to jump! We were monkeys jumping on (and falling out of) the bed until we were panting and sweating. Then all of the animals came out of the cradle and were scattered around the floor. Of course, this was done with lots of jumping, tickling, squealing, and laughing. We pretended to eat downstairs as we wrestled and cut shapes out of paper (and left lots and lots and lots of little, teeny, tiny pieces on the floor) before we headed upstairs for the community bath. Again, you can imagine lots of little girl giggles and splashing while the mommies soaped us up and washed us down.
We went through the motions of putting on our jammies, getting in to bed, and letting the Mommies and Daddies head downstairs for a few minutes of quiet. Less than 5 minutes later, there were tiny giggles from the stairs and 2 sets of eyes peeping around the staircase. This quickly escalated to another episode of sprinting around the house, pulling out toys, and laughing infectiously.
At a little after 10, the Mommies were done playing with their scissors and paper and Ellie had to pack up and head for C’ville. I had a great time and I hope that she is able to come back soon!
