Being away from home for a long time definitely has its downfalls! Not only have I been away from my friends for way too long, I have not gotten to know the younger siblings of the 1st borns. Becky had Evan & Beth had Sam first. I just fell in love with those kids & we would get them together with Ella any chance we got. Then each of them had another younger sibling for the boys. Becky had Eli and Beth had MaryBeth. Problem is that they are so little & we've missed most all of their lives. Well, this summer was going to right that wrong!
We spent time with all of the kids or different variations of the kids as much as we could. Then, in talking with Beth, we realized that MaryBeth has a big brother that she usually plays with. What does that mean? It means that she doesn't get much girly play time. So Ella - the girliest girl on earth - wanted to have MaryBeth over to do girly stuff. So we did.
The girls had their nails painted, played dress up and watched princess movies. Then with the move coming up, we sent her home with some dress up & a tea set. They had the best time and truly became friends. Their giggles were contagious! :)
We will NOT stay away so long anymore!
