Learning about each other

Today we are getting some much needed rain. We are playing inside again and Morgan's friend, Abby, came over for a short visit. Abby, Morgan, and Audrey played with playdough for most of her visit and I got to catch up with Rebecca (Abby's mom). Abby's little sister, Lucy, slept comfortably in her sling until right before they walked out the door. None of us
were ready for the visit to be over and the girls didn't have enough time to share their newest favorite snack "swimming grapes." Oh well, there is always next time.

Morgan and I made lunch and put away dishes. A dish got broken and Audrey was getting quite tired. Our tempers were a bit short and in an attempt to hurry things along, I took over Morgan's "job" and put away a bowl rather than hand it to her. Morgan was hurt and said, "You don't know anything about me. I can put that away on my own." Her comment spun a wonderful conversation between the two of us. We went back and forth telling each other things about ourselves we wanted the other to know. With her permission, here are some of the things she said...she likes splashing in puddles, climbing trees with Daddy holding his hands under her in case she falls, going under water, doing yoga, flowers, and clothes. She wants to snorkle and be in a road race. She doesn't like Sesame Street the show...It was interesting to see what the first things that came to her mind about herself. It was a great conversation and I look forward to learning more about her every day.
