Spielverabredung? Spieldatum? (Playdate!)

Whatever the translation... I've been nervous about hosting a playdate with Luna's schoolmates, precisely because I don't trust my German.  But Luna has now been on several playdates with some of her schoolmates, and I was beginning to feel obligated!  So we went ahead and did it... and I'm not sure what I was so worried about...

Last Wednesday afternoon, we had Carolin over...  they jumped on the trampoline...

And then I had a craft for them to do...

Look at that little face?  How could I have been scared of a four year old???

Here is the finished product Carolin got to take home...

And for the rest of the time that Carolin was here, they played quietly up in Luna's room!  Now onto the next of her schoolmates!

More Tricks from Tess

Tess has practically mastered the art of sitting...

And she's getting better at taking naps... (I'm thankful for that!)

She is thoroughly enjoying family meal time with us...

(I love the little chive stuck to her nose!)

And she has discovered that the Crème fraîche container is a perfect cooking time toy (and that Mommy gets to bend over and retrieve it every time she drops it!)

Toofy Tess and Her Tricks

Tess has broken her first tooth, on the bottom.  And she's getting lots of new tricks... here she is showing some of them off!

OK - not a trick really... just a time killer, while I cook dinner!

Not quite crawling yet, but pushing up onto her knees!

Hey!  What are you doing?

Let me just...

turn around, here...

so I can see you!

And back up on her knees!
