Play date

Two weeks ago Riley had her first "drop off" play date. Ella Kate is one of her little friends from church. For the past year every time I picked her up from Sunday school and asked her what she did she would reply, "I play with Ella Cake". The teachers had said that they played well together in the two year old class. So, we decided to have miss Ella Kate over for a few hours. I seriously wish it had been all day. They were precious and I loved listening in on their conversations. If I wasn't in the rec room with them they would come downstairs to let me know that they were changing activities. It was so cute!

Riley: "What do you want to do now (In her country twang) "Alla" Kate?"
Ella Kate: Looking at a purse of Riley's she said, "Hey! Get a load of this!" They painted and wore Riley's cooking aprons. I was helping them at one point and after hearing Riley call me Ashlee, Ella Kate said, "There are a lot of Ashlee's in the world. There is one at my church and one at Riley's house." hehe.

They played with play dough

They played doctor on sleeping Dora.

They semi ate their lunch outside. It was the first pretty day we had had in a long time.

It was two and a half hours of pure peace. I think I was more excited about it than anyone! This is the stuff that I love about being a mommy. I told Ella Kate's mom that she could come over any day and I meant it. She was so well mannered and Riley just loves her!


After nap that day we went out to the play set and Endsley got to try out that new swing Santa brought! She was a fan! Swinging with big sister

Love those cheeks!

We ended the day with a paper cut. I know it hurt! She milked this one though. She would hold her hand up and not use it. So, after bath time we doctored her up! Isn't she pitiful?!
