Tomorrow is the first day of 1st grade. So, today D had her friend Jeah over for one last summer play date. Jeah is a great kid who has appeared in previous posts. Delightful to have around because she is funny, polite, and she and D have a great time together. Once she was asking us if we had ever seen "those machines that grab animals with their claws...and you can keep the animal. Some people call them money-wasters." I thought that was hilarious and showed one of the best things about sweet Jeah, she has no idea how funny she is!
C was at school so the girls had the toys to themselves. They played Littlest Pet Shops, read a book, admired the rabbit, and then consoled each other for a bit over not being in the same class this year. Each was reassuring the other that they would still see each other around the playground and at lunch. And they could still have play dates and sleepovers.
We then decided to watch a movie and have an indoor picnic lunch.
Another thing that cracks me up when Jeah comes to play...
the girls are convinced that Thumper will fall in love with this stuffed toy rabbit. I let them keep trying. It's hilarious. Once they petted Thumper and then rubbed their hands all over the stuffed rabbit to spread Thumper's "scent." Ha Ha!
Finally, we wrapped up this last summer play date with a tea party. We made real tea and put sugar in the little sugar dish and served little biscuits on the picnic rug outside. Happy girls shared their snack and said good-bye to summer.
