Play Date

We had a play date with Aly and Lisa today. We went to their house so Anna took a few minutes to warm up but once she did, she had a great time playing with all of Aly's (and Emma's) toys especially the crayons and drawing paper. I was really impressed at her improved scribbling - camp must be having a big influence on this as they do a craft every time.

After playing for quite awhile, Lisa showed off her new guitar skills to her captive audience and then the 'girls' had a snack of Puffins which Anna seemed to enjoy. Aly loved Anna's hair and giving her hugs. At first Anna wanted to be left alone but eventually warmed up to Aly's 'advances'! I guess Aly liked having someone around more her size (she's the baby of her family). Right before we left Anna practiced going up and down the two steps going from the kitchen into the family room without holding on. She went down very well but still used her hands a bit going up. Regardless, it was fun watching her realize her new strength and ability and then proceed to practice until I finally interrupted her to go home for lunch.

Thanks Lisa & Aly - it was fun!
