The Visit to Isabel's House

"Go Away, Mummy!"

Maia and Isabel were outraged that we thought they would need supervision. They were Big Girls, and were perfectly fine to play in Isabel's room All By Themselves.

Until Maia got stuck in Isabel's brother's cot. Then they hollered downstairs for us to come and rescue her. When we came upstairs, they were both semi-nekkid and the clothes that Maia did have on were not her own. Banished again, we duly went back downstairs.

Obviously, Getting Stuck In The Cot was a fun game, as Maia clambered in and had to be rescued a few more times before it got boring.

I spent a pleasant afternoon with Paula, drinking tea and playing with David, who is one. We even discussed the possibility of starting sleep-overs for the girls. They play really nicely together, and did spend most of dinner asking if Maia was going to stay the night.

I suppose they figure it took so long for us to organise this afternoon's play that they better start asking early... So stay tuned. Sleep-overs to follow. June, probably...
