Playing cars while Sarah napped.
Sarah playing with the big girls in the kitchen (Raisa had a friend come over to play).
Dinner is behind the style in her hair.
Signing "bed."
Anna asked me at dinner last night if Corrine was coming with Owen & Raisa for dinner and I said no but we can call them and see what they're doing tomorrow. So, Corrine & Scott adjusted their plans a little and we hung out with them all day today.
We started out at Raisa's dance practice. I thought for sure Sarah would lose it within five minutes but she sat and was very quiet and good for the whole 45 minutes! Anna seemed shy (I think she secretly wanted to join in the class) but she said this was the best part of the day. I told her that she can take ballet when she is four if she wants.
Next we stopped at Subway to bring sandwiches to the pool for a picnic. After our lunch we played in the baby pool for a while (probably just under an hour?) and then went to Corrine & Scott's where Sarah took a two hour nap while Anna played with Raisa's kitchen and then Anna, Owen, & Raisa played cars until Sarah got up. Overall I think everyone had fun and it was so nice to have Sarah take a good nap there and for Anna to actually enjoy her cousins' company (this was a major improvement over our visit to Corrine's last year when Sarah screamed and wouldn't nap and Anna was super clingy).
We came home and had dinner. Anita even made a chocolate cake (with beets—it was delicious!) for dessert. Anna wanted Anita to read to her and for her to brush teeth with her at bedtime. When I asked her tonight what was the best part of her day she said, "talking and reading with Nana." (I'm guessing Raisa's dance class still came in a close second.)
