Tub friends

We had a great playdate with A's good friend M that lasted into the evening; both girls were thrilled to have a joint bath!

Bedtime stories

in Mom & Dad's bed, which is apparently a special treat.

A's first sleepover

While B&E spent the weekend with dear friends S&J in Connecticut for S&B's college reunion, A had a blast at Grandma and Grandpa's house, and couldn't wait to do it again. E and Auntie J used to play with the dollhouse below when they were little girls... We can't remember if they were as obsessive about lining everyone up, but chances are good...

Tummy

We were surprised how much A "got" E's pregnancy. She would regularly talk to her baby sis (who she told everone was named Sophie; we have no idea where that came from) and spent months frantically diapering dolls and stuffed animals alike-- we really almost could have handed off baby diapering to A once baby sis was born; she got that good!

BigTop

We had lots of fun seeing the Big Apple Circus, which sets up on City Hall Plaza every spring, with clowns, acrobats, horses and trained rescue dogs.
