Yesterday we had Juliet over for a play date in the afternoon while her mom had to run to a meeting in the city. It's nice to know the kids well enough at this point that we can do things like this without making them feel like abductees. So here are Elisa and Juliet (aka "Jet" in Elisa's vernacular) having a bit too much fun jumping and laying around.
They both totally love playing pretend sleep. Here they are almost quieting down before erupting in giggles.
Of course they can't be still for too long...must jump some more. Although I think Elisa wanted to bounce more than Juliet. There was a bit of a debate going on and Juliet finally told her she was done jumping. Elisa wasn't thrilled, but she wanted her friend to stay in the crib.
So there was some impromptu hugging to make sure Juliet knew she was wanted...so cute.
And then, like that, it was nap time for BOTH of them. Elisa went straight to the crib without passing go--she had a minor meltdown and it was just time. So I took Juliet to the makeshift bed on the couch where she snuggled in with hardly a whimper. She didn't last as long sleeping, but she was so quiet and calm just reading and hanging out. I even had time to sit and eat my lunch in peace. And I thought I'd be in for a crazy afternoon, but really, with these two to entertain themselves, my work was done. Nice.
