Play date

Henry had his very first official play date today! 

An old co-worker of mine nannies a little girl who is 7 months and we had them over this morning. 

Viola was fascinated by both of them being there! (As well as Carley's paci-shocker!)

Henry just laid there and watched Carley play. She had fun and was pretty cute! 

Viola loved showing her the water beads!!

Aside from that, the girls painted plates.

Isabelle got really creative with hers:

I was trying so hard to think of something to challenge Isabelle with. I finally came up with this: we had yarn (of which I had no idea what to do with) and giant pasta. 

Insert lacing experiment that worked! (Don't you just LOVE her outfit!)

Viola tried and tried and just gave up. Iz did great though. Another activity that I successfully stuffed in my already stuffed closet!

While the girls painted Henry sat in the bumbo and watched. 

He got tired of that so I held him-that boy LOVES his fist!!

This afternoon was very challenging. The girls tested absolutely every nerve in my body. It gets SO old so quickly and I think someday I may just really hit my head on the wall. It just drives me nuts how much better they are when Ryan is here-maybe if I had a deeper "manly" voice? 

Nah-I like being mommy, but not mean mommy. Hope tomorrow is better!! I'm off my soap box now-all are asleep (even Ry-he's sick) so I can relax! :-)

To end: she did all this totally on her own as a free play sort of thing this morning. She amazes me so much!! 

Until tomorrow!
