My friend Shea and her daughter Mia (10 months) are visiting for 9 days. Three girls ages 2 and under, oh my gosh. Ethan is managing to keep up with all of us gals.

The biggest surprise of the week has been that most nights Daphne is only waking up ONCE!!! It is wonderful for me. So we will start with Daphne and Mia checking each other out.

Maybe Mia wants her old clothes back?

We took Mia and Amelia to the park on Saturday and squeezed both of them into the same bucket swing. Maybe that is why the leg holes go both ways?

If you looked at them from in front of Amelia, you couldn’t see Mia.

And Amelia liked helping me change the heat/AC filters on Saturday. Power tools (not powerFUL tools) are fun!

Of the six of us, only Shea and Daphne have not gotten a cold. Amelia and I are getting better today, and Ethan (home sick and asleep right now!) and Mia are just getting into the worst of it. I had laryngitis for a few days. When I whispered to Amelia, a lot of the time she would whisper back.

Amelia cried to not go to Tuckaway by the end of last week. Today was much better. Apparently she kept asking to go home and go see her baby sister, but she didn’t cry much and a visit by a fire truck was a good distraction. She told me she climbed on it, the fireman wore a helmet, and the truck was yellow.

Here’s a good sentence she said yesterday: “Here’s a good book about babies.” when handing me a book with pictures of babies in different color clothes.
