Girlfriends




Today was a glorious spring day, almost hot, really! They forcast rain all this week, but so far, we have missed it. Although I know its not so good for the flowers, I can't say that I mind a bit. Today I babysat our neighbor's daughter, Charlotte ("Charlie"). I was a little nervous about it as they are close in age, thereby making it potentially challenging. I felt like "super nanny" today as they both had a great time playing together and all went smoothly. I know it was mostly luck, or coincidence, that this happened, but I was delighted. I just sat back and laughed as they gabbered in their baby language, poking each other, crawling all over each other, and having a great time. I even got Ben to sleep while Charlie ate her lunch, which is truly a small miracle. I felt like a superstar!
Later today, we walked down to our friends the Battersbys as it was such a nice day. They are moving in a few weeks to Colorado, so we are trying to maximize our time together. Their almost 2yr old daughter, Anna, is in love with Ben and calls him "baby Bun." She apparently asks about him all the time when we aren't around. She was so excited that we came over, and kept patting him and kissing him. I got this adorable picture of them, too. Great ammunition if they end up together someday :)
Ben has had a fun day with the "chics", he didn't mind a bit!
