Play date last week

Last week we had a play date with Charlotte and Norah. Charlotte will be 5 in April, Sophia in May. Norah will be 3 in June, Lilly in May...so they are both exactly the right age to be great friends with the girls. Their mom is Rebekah. She's Lilly's Kindermusic teacher and she was Sophia's piano teacher for a few months. Sophia no longer taking lessons. She never wanted to practice and I didn't want it to become a battle so we're putting lessons on hold for a while.

Anyway, since Rebekah teaches piano every afternoon she wasn't able to come with the girls. Instead their babysitter dropped them off and took their baby brother to run errands. The girls all had a blast. They were so good too. I will definitely have them over again.

The week before we had a play date with Sophia's friend from school and the house was trashed when they left. They didn't follow the critical rule of play dates. *Always help clean up before you leave!* The mom didn't even offer. Oh well. Sophia likes Elizabeth so we'll probably have them over again.
