With Amanda suffering from a runny nose and Eva getting strange itchy bumps, the girls have been indoors almost all week, apart from the doctor. There’s been no MOPS, no play date, no community center. They finally seem to be getting better, so last night I took Eva and Amanda to visit Dave’s building in their Pirate costumes. The residents really enjoyed it. Amanda kept toddling over to the table where she could grab some chocolate-covered pretzels, and a couple of “grandmas” gave the girls lollipops and quarters.
Occasionally I’ll take the girls to visit Daddy at work, so they get a chance to meet some of his residents. Now when he’s gone, Eva will say, “Daddy went to go see Grandmas and Grandpas. Help them feel better.” When she wants to visit Dave, she’ll say, “I want to see ‘resi-nents’ (residents)! I like ‘resi-nents!’” If she’s starting to get impatient for Dave to get home, she’ll tell Amanda, “Guess what? Daddy’s going to be home soon! I hear Daddy!”, as if just saying it will make it more likely to happen quickly.
