A New Pattern Developing

Our neighbors, sisters Leah and Lexi, make regular appearances on our doorstep to play with Maggie. Sometimes its planned but most of the time it's just a random ring of the doorbell. We're developing a routine.

It usually involves a snack. Here's Lexi and Maggie eating a snickerdoodle that Patrick made last night.

Once she realized I was taking pictures she disappeared.After the obligatory snacks they settle in for book readin', coloring, and lots of tickling (which Maggie only appreciates about half the time). I tried to get them all to look up but they were too engrossed in the coloring portion of the day.


Lexi usually tires of Maggie pretty quick and I think Maggie senses it and chooses that particular time to bug her like crazy. This usually drives them away and Maggie is left to find fun where she can. This time she decides to dump out the tote holding her diapers, wipes, salves, etc.


She decided to taste the chapstick and sample diaper cream.

I think it would be fun to have kids come over to play with Natalie, regardless of the motives (cookies and coloring)! How fun!

So I can't tell from your post - is this a good thing or a bad thing? :-)

It's a good thing. It's a good thing. She loves her daily visitors.

That's great - yes, sometimes it really helps to have other kids around. They can provide the best entertainment.
