Megan and her girls made it here on Sunday afternoon. It has been a lot of fun being able to play with them, and most of our time has been spent at Aunt Nancy's house. With M, E, Cara, Gilli, Jodi, Charlotte, and Jackson it has been quite the carnival! Lots of yelling, crying, and arguing...but really, lots of fun! (and lots of crazy!) I am really glad we could all get together. Sadly, I think they plan to leave us tomorrow :( to start their journey home. I wish they lived oh so much closer!
Ok. So, we've talked to M about strangers a bit, telling her to be safe and what not. A couple of times she brings it up when we say no she can't do something and she says "because there are stangers?" or some such. We haven't talked about it recently, but apparently the message stuck: We were at Wal-Mart, had just finised checking out and J went to use the restroom and M wanted to get a drink from the water fountain -I was still a few steps behind, so M said "Mom will you come a little bit closer?" and I said yes, and she continued "because you wouldn't want a stranger to grab me." I smiled and said "No I wouldn't like that." And she said "You would say 'oh no! someone has taken my child!" At which point I couldn't help but laugh and tell her how much I loved her.
