Babies
As far as Amelia is concerned, the world is divided into two groups: parents and babies. And Amelia loves other babies.
A couple of days ago we happened to be outside when the kids from the nearby after school center were walking by. The kids really liked Amelia, who was a cute little baby girl to them. She followed after them calling, "Babies," and almost climbed into a waiting van with the group as they prepared to leave. Watching Amelia looking longingly at the van was cute. I am really looking forward to getting her involved in classes with other kids.
Last week Starbuck's sponsored a "read to a child" day. I had forgotten about it all together until we arrived at our local Starbuck's and found a few extra people hanging out. A boy, who must have been about eight years old, was there with his big sister. He had two stuffed animals with him: a puppy and a shark. Amelia loved the puppy and the boy let her run around and play with it. He also had fun tickling Amelia with the shark and both of them got to hear "The Little Engine that Could" (and we got to keep the book). When the little boy went to the bathroom, Amelia stood staring at the door (luckily, a few paces away) calling, "Baby...baby where are you?"
Amelia did not want to give up the puppy when the time came, but she had a lot of fun on our afternoon outing. The little boy was also disappointed when it came time for us to leave. (I guess watching your teenage sister talk on her cell phone isn't that exciting.) Amelia also found boys to play with in the park over the weekend. Her toddler soccer class starts in a couple of weeks, hopefully she'll have fun and meet some neat kids there.
