On a recent trip to our friend Maria’s house, the girls were delighted to play with a dollhouse that Maria’s niece Maura had brought over to entertain them. I hadn’t expected the girls to be so captivated by the house; I figured that such imaginative play was still a ways off in their future. But the girls proved me wrong – they spent much of our time at Maria’s arranging and rearranging the dolls and the furniture (and bickering with each other such arrangements). Maura saw how much pleasure the girls took in the dollhouse and graciously offered to let us take it home. To say we were all excited and grateful for her generosity is a serious understatement!
The girls have thoroughly enjoyed playing with the dollhouse every day, and I have thoroughly enjoyed having a few extra minutes every day that I don’t have to scramble to come up with fun indoor activities!
Thank you, Maura and family!
Here’s a rather distracted video of the girls thanking Maura for the dollhouse. It’s a bit of a crazy clip, but I hope it conveys our excitement!
Great video….even though I see their pictures everyday – I don’t hear them talk that often….it was so much fun….
Just anFYI – fast forward 1 year and #4 will be crawling and girls will be yelling as he goes off with a bed or a chair….haha becky
Becky, I’m afraid you’re right. I think the baby is going to cause even more chaos around here! (Oh, and I’m hoping you mean #3 – I’m not currently planning to have TWO more babies in the next year!) 🙂
Now might be a good time to get unlimited text messages and talking minutes on your cell plan. Becky and Susie are sure to be talkers! And in case you ever wonder if they are happy, just listen to Becky rattle off everything she likes! That girl aint lacking in graditude!
So glad they enjoy it. I am going to show Maura the video, She loved it too!
