Playdate Video
Here is a video from our play date yesterday with Addison and Watson. I think it is so sweet. However, one of the moms in my bible study group brought up this week how blogging and facebook can make things appear much different than they really are because moms will only post the good stuff. So in the interest of full disclosure I will give you a description of how the play date really went down.
Emily woke up from her nap right after I sat down to nurse Mark. I can't remove Emily from the crib while nursing Mark so she just had to wait. She wasn't happy when I finally got her out. Addison and Watson arrived shortly thereafter. Emily got very upset as soon as Addison started playing with her toys. I had to pull Emily off of Addison numerous times. Picture Emily crying, saying "mine, mine, mine" while maintaining a very firm grasp on Addison's hair and/or sweater. Then of course there is her signature move which appears to be a hug but is really just her way of going in for the kill. Johanna and I both have to get really close to determine if it is a hug or an attempted tackle or bite. Towards the end it was just hugs - we think. Emily eventually warmed up and decided to share her toys but by then Addison had apparently gotten more comfortable too because she decided that she no longer wanted to wear pants or a diaper. So Johanna then spent some time chasing after Addison. Amidst the chaos there was this really sweet moment and Johanna caught it on video. I guess it's just much easier to take a photo or video when things are going well. After all, no one has a free hand when Emily's WWF alter ego comes out to play.
