Lauralea did some french braiding on Riley and Mia's hair before she left. (Nora arrived a little too late to get her's done.) It takes extra time, but they both sat very well while Lauralea worked on it.
And I thought you might like to see what it looks like from the front view! It's still intact (right now during nap time), but no guarantees by the time she leaves. :)
For some reason (unknown to me) Riley and Nora were calling Mia "Pocahontas." I have a Pocahontas book, but it's not in this toy set and it has not been out for awhile. So it was pretty random and Mia was not real appreciative! She said, "I'm NOT Pocahontas! I'm a girl!!" So I steered them on to other activities that did not involve naming someone. :) Riley was saying it so cute: "poke-n-honna!" I asked them why they started calling her that and of course they didn't have a clue. (Just great big grins!)
The kids were playing on the climber and Mia was saying, "Hi Riley, hi Riley!" (Like she'd just arrived!) Riley was not responding and Nora said, "My daughter is saying hi to you!" :) (Her tone was slightly laced with motherly indignation!)
The Templeton Family (except for Daddy) stopped by while we were outside playing. For those who do not know them, we had all three of their boys in our program, except Reed (same age as Cooper) had to leave early when Lauralea got the University job. Bode was pulling Mia and Cooper across the yard in the wagon (pretty fast I might add!) and they were laughing so hard. Everyone was having a great time - we even invited them to eat lunch with us, but they'd had a late breakfast!
I posted the following in Nora's journal, but I thought you all might like to read it too! - I thought of something Tate Templeton said when he was in our program and about Nora's age. Nora is going to be a Flower Girl this weekend and Tate was going to be the Ring Bearer at his Uncle's Wedding. He asked this question; "How long do I get to wear the Bear Suit?" (That's the logic of a "literal thinking" Toddler!)
