Play Date With a Classmate!

Today, Imma had a play date with a friend from her class. This is the first time anyone from her class has come over to play and we were so happy that her little friend and his brother were able to spend some time playing with the girls.  Little brother is about Lucy's age so the girls each had a friend their age to play with.
We spent a few minutes playing upstairs in the playroom. The boys came over in capes so Lucy put her cape on, too.  Imma put on her cowboy hat and rode around the room on her stick-horse.  The boys took turns driving around our toy car and Lucy had a good time flying down the slide. (Yes, we have a little slide in our play room!)
Then, we decided to go outside.  Everyone had fun swinging and going down the slide. Lucy's hair got crazy with static!  She looked like Medusa for a little while.  The only conflict we had was when little brother had a basketball Imma decided she needed.  Imma never plays with that ball but she thought she needed it because someone else had it.  Other than that, the rest of the play date went very well.  Imma didn't always play with the other kids but she was in the vicinity and did talk to them and occasionally went over to play with them.  She also played ball with them for a little bit, too.

I just had to take a pic of Lucy's crazy hair!

Static everywhere!

I'm so glad Imma is starting to make real friends with her classmates and develop some relationships that will, hopefully, last for years to come.  We plan on living here for the rest of eternity so the girls will have most of the same classmates all the way through school.  We are really hoping to get to know more families and put down some roots here.  The family that came over today is wonderful--sweet kids, very nice, friendly parents.  We're very happy that Imma is in the same class as this little gentleman. He does such a good job of taking care of her.  He's extremely polite, he always asks her if she needs anything or if he can help her, and he is one of the students Imma insists on hugging good-bye at the end of the day.  We can't wait until our next play date!
