Three girls a-picinic-ing

Sylvia’s Toddler Time class at Monona Grove Nursery School ended in late April.  In order to keep up her socialization and to retain some structure to our week, I invited her friends Celia and Rayna to come play at our house on Tuesdays in May and early June.

The three girls had a topsy-turvy time…sometimes being a complete  delight (see pictures below) and sometimes (in Sylvia’s case, many times) experiencing high degrees of angst over the difficulties of three-year-old interactions.  I thought of it as having the opportunity to flex that “working-with-other-people” muscle.  No matter what, though, Sylva and I always looked forward to the days that our friends would come over to play.

Here’s some photos of our crew of three enjoying each other’s company on a warm May day.

First, picnicking and striking a pose:

The maple tree out front had just flowered, and I lay on my back looking up through the new green flowers, soaking up spring.

Thanks, Kathy and Jessica, for sharing your amazing girls with me.  So glad that Sylvie has them as friends and I have you two as friends!!

  1. I think you meant to tag a different Kathy in these photos, but thanks for tagging me. Looking at these little girls put a big smile on my exhausted, grumpy face. 😉
