Riley and Mia played together a lot this morning. Mia likes to stuff the largest purse full of toys (See in the picture how full it is!) just like Riley does. I think Riley helped teach her the fine art of stockpiling toys! You can also see the selection of toys Riley has lined up on the step behind them. There are more toys on the rest of the step too.
And here they are sitting in the big box which they have previously filled with toys also. They have cookies in their bowls and were shaking them. Soon after this picture they started combing each other's hair with the play forks.
And here's a picture of the kids doing some sand table play this morning. They had lots of fun with it and played for a long time.
At the lunch table we were talking about brothers and sisters and Nora held up her hands to indicate the size of her baby sister in Mommy's tummy. The way she positioned her hands looked just like we do for the motions to "like a diamond in the sky..." And that's exactly what Mia immediately started singing "Like a diamond in the sky...twinkle twinkle little star.." and it morphed right into "Baa baa black sheep..." then "Mary had a little lamb..." then "Winnie the pooh, winnie the pooh.." then "Good night baby..." And Riley was keeping up with her and singing right along - loudly!! And every time Mia would change songs Nora would laugh so hard. It was so much fun watching them have such a good time!!
Yesterday afternoon Mia and Riley were at the fence talking to the school kids when they were walking by. Which I thought was a great accomplishment for Riley; she's been known to stay back on the patio when strangers are anywhere nearby. Maybe it helped that Mia was yelling at them when they were going by; "Hi Neighbor!!" And there were several, so the girls were quite busy! :)
