Today Anna and her Mommy came over and we gave her the present we got for her in Hawaii. It was a little hula skirt set with floral top, flower for her hair and shell lei. Very fancy. It was just the right gift for a three year old. She seemed to really like it.
And since it was a nice day, we decided to take the girls to the big playground at the park. Anna who is a big girl did not bring her stroller, but the walk was pretty long, and she was obviously getting tired, so Hana offered to share her stroller. We put Anna on the bottom, and Hana on her lap, and the seat belt on the top and off we went. It was great. Anna loved it because she got to hold the baby on her lap, (and got a free ride), and Hana really didn't seem to notice the difference. She sits on people's laps all the time.
When we got to the park we played in the sand box. Anna and Hana played very nicely together. No screaming or tantrums, or hitting or crying. It was amazing. And when Anna wanted something that Hana had, she offered her a different toy instead. Such a good girl. And then when we were all hot and dirty we went over to the sprinklers to cool of and wash off. Hana of course demanded to be walked all through the sprinklers where the big kids were, so silly Mommy had to take off her shoes and wade out with her and we both got very wet. But it was fun. And since it was 92 degrees today, I didn't really mind getting to play in the sprinklers.
And then we packed the girls up again, all nice and wet and sandy, and rolled home. They ate animal crackers and fruit loops on the way, and shared nicely. Anna held the bag and they both helped them selves. And when Hana ran out of fruit loops, and the bag was empty, she checked Anna's hand to see if she had any more in there. Very cute. Baby
And now we are home, and Hana is taking her nap. She went to sleep with out any protest.
