House Guest

   I have a friend who just had a new baby...she also has a two-year-old and a little girl who is about 12 days older than Molly. Her four-year-old, Naomi,  and Molly are the best of friends. We met when the girls were babies while sitting in the parent's room at church. While the girls were over on Thursday, their mom said, "Maybe I should just leave Naomi here and you can just bring her to church with you on Saturday." She was half joking and never expected me to take her up on her it. Well, I jumped at the chance to give my friend a break and for the girls to have some bonding time. Luckily they are about the same size because she had no clothes or pajamas with her. Molly had just been to the dentist so we had a new toothbrush that Naomi could use. I am a big fan of spontaneity so this was all quite fun for me:) We decided to take it one night at a time. Naomi had never been away from her parent's overnight...what if she freaks out? They live about 40 minutes away. We would meet halfway if we needed to. Well, the girls did amazingly well:) They talked quietly for an hour the first night. I will describe some of their conversations in a different post. Very philosophical for 4-year-olds, but then again, these are not your typical kids.
