Aunt Nanci sent Eva a beautiful little playhouse for her third birthday, and already it’s a big hit. Eva plays with the toy phone and pretends to call Grandma, “washes” toy silverware in the sink, and “eats” play food on the table. Dave put her potty chair in there, hoping it would encourage her to use it, but so far no dice. Amanda just sits on the floor in wonderment at her sister’s antics, or sometimes pulls herself to a stand to peek out the window.
Eva was really bummed yesterday because I couldn’t let her go outside and play in it while it was raining, and there it was, taunting her through the sliding glass window overlooking our back patio. I made her a tent out of blankets and furniture in the living room instead, which seemed to help for a little while. Aunt Laura sent Eva a portable camp chair shaped like a monkey, so that was another early birthday treat for her.
What great aunts your kids have to send them such great gifts!
