Dinner and a show...

We had visitors this evening. I had to work part of the day and so Zack watched Mabel until about noon and then my mom took over when he had to go to work until I got home. Poor Zack, Mabel gave him a run for his money! She didn't want lunch or naps - I think she was too excited to have time with her Papa!

My friend and her family came up to visit. They were supposed to arrive sometime around 3pm but it ended up being past 5pm that they got there with a 3 year old and 5 year old in tow. I will be honest, it could have gone really really badly for Mabel since this was her dinner time and one thing she likes is predictability when it comes to her dinner and bath routine, but Mabel did great! She was so excited to watch the "big kids" play. I'm all teary thinking about how it seems like yesterday the 5 year old was Mabel's age and even sooner since the 3 year old had her first birthday party! My Mabel is going to be that big! I can't think of that right now - I mean it is exciting and wonderful and exactly what I want but I want to savor every second of what I have right now and not miss a second.

Mabel loved her 3 year old new pal. Even let her feed her dinner! Mabel was marveled by the two kids dancing and laughing around the table as she ate. She looked at me like "We should do this every night!" By the end of the night Mabel was dancing on my lap...that's a happy baby! She does love seeing other kids!

Now, if that isn't a testament to having a sibling for Mabel in the future I don't know what is!
