Saying Goodbye

My friend Jessica left yesterday. She's been staying in our guest room with her 20-month old son since she decided to divorce her husband in September. At first it was just when he was home on weekends, but it became full time just before Christmas. While it's nice to have our office/guest room back, I'm certainly going to miss them. Eva will too. She spotted Jonathan at the top if the stairs as they were on their way out the door, and started clapping her hands and squealing. When he didn't come down and went outside instead, she sat there with a perplexed expression on her face, like "where's my playmate?" When they came back later to say goodbye, Jonathan toddled into the kitchen for a drink. Eva started fussing and straining to see him, but couldn't follow him because she hasn't figured out how to crawl yet. But as soon as he came back around the corner, she perked up, laughing, clapping, and bouncing on her bottom. She loves to watch him run around and play. I guess I'll have to schedule a couple of play dates besides mother's group when she gets older. She's definitely social.
