Playdate

Ellie had her friend Isabelle over today. We have got to do that more often! She was here for over five hours, but it felt like half an hour. It was so much easier to have two little girls than one little girl - all I had to do was say "Go play" and they did! There is very little sweeter than listening in on two little friends as they play.

Isabelle and Ellie are so well-matched. I've been saying that since they were one, but it's true. Their personalities complement each other beautifully. They're both so generous and caring in their play that we didn't have one fight, tear, or sharing issue all day. They even eat exactly the same foods and have the same naptime/resttime schedule. Whenever Isabelle comes over, I think we should do this every day.

In addition to all the benefits the girls get out of their friendship, I get equally much out my friendship with Isabelle's mom, Heather. I'm so glad we met them in ECFE when the girls were two months old. And yes, Isabelle actually had almost that much hair when she was two months old, too!
