Year of writing 161. playmates.

6/10/12

My cousin moved to town yesterday, and she and her partner have 2 kids the same age as Isla and Miles.  This is amazing on so many levels.  Today, Tegan's 7th day working in a row, I was at the end of my rope with anything having to do with four year olds.  My cousin Summer called up and asked if I wanted to drop Isla off at their house to play with their daughter.  Um... HELL YEAH I DO! 

Immediately the day was sunnier, the birds were singing beautiful music, and Isla had a partner in crime to play all of her pretend Harry Potter games with.  She spent the entire day with her cousin - dressing up, running around, swimming, etc, etc...   I was in heaven.  Of course, there were bumps in the road, a few tiffs here and there, and Isla's instructions about how one shouldn't use the word "Dammit" or else they get timeout, and then promptly saying "This seatbelt is touching my butt, Dammit!"  But, you know what, I'll take that a million times over if I don't have to play imaginary Harry Potter games ever again.
