Random musings…

Ok, I haven’t posted the last little while so I’ll play a bit of catch up.  

A few days ago we had 2 family friends over both with girls from China.  It was our first glorious friend BBQ of the season, and wow was it great.  The kids had a blast playing outside despite the fact that it was still a bit cool even with the sun.  R was ‘blowing bubbles’ and in addition to getting bubble soap all over her hands and shirt, she decided to try to wash part of her hair with the solution.  Daddy hosed her off a bit and off she went just wearing her skirt.   She and her friends were at the top of the hill on the swing set.  Her little friend N came running down the hill to us adults, and said quite calmly “R needs help”.  So I went up the hill, and lone behold my daughter was waiting at the top of the ladder for me to help her across the monkey bars.  I was relieved to see that she had waited for me to help her, but was shocked to see her BUCK naked waiting on the ladder! Nice!

Later on just before our friends left R decided to sit herself down on the ground.  I asked her what was the matter and she said “I’m a baby and I can’t walk”.  Her little friend N comes walking by and hears this, then just takes R hand and hauls her up!  Very sensible friend!

It’s getting so nice outside we are spending more and more time out there.  The gardens are greening up and everything looks great after that long winter.  We have also gotten to know our new neighbours more (they moved in winter).  R has seemed to found a good friend in the neighbour boy B.  They love to play together.  That is so nice to see!
