Fun with Cousins!






on saturday, my mom took ella and me to visit my sister marna and her new baby kaitlyn elaine (born may 3). she's sooo tiny-ella looks huge compared to her-and she has a head full of hair (probably more than ella will have by the time she's 2!) and long fingers and toes. she's a doll. ella didn't know quite what to think of her but she did enjoy playing w/her older cousins, justin (20 months), dylan (5), and evan (10). dylan introduced her to his police truck, which ella briefly examined before starting to chew on it, and a colorful rubber ball that lit up-a huge hit w/her. while ella took a nap in kaitlyn's crib (kaitlyn slept in her swing), i had loads of fun w/evan and dylan. first we played board games which i haven't done in ages, and intelligent evan had to teach me me how to play dominoes and backgammon again. we also enjoyed a game of chinese checkers. next, we went outside and i had an absolute blast jumping on the trampoline-i felt like a kid again-and playing kickball (hard to do w/ just 3 people, but we managed). inside, justin enjoyed going to the crib and checking on ella-once she was awake, he had fun making her smile and laugh. all in all, it was a super day-hopefully we'll be back to play again soon.
