McDonalds

We went for a little walk last night to look at Christmas lights and the kids were so happy afterwards they were giddy. Sarah and Stephen were running around chasing each other under the dining room table and giggling like they seldom do. Sarah looks like she is learning to laugh when Stephen gives her little pushes instead of getting mad like she usually does. The kids laughing and playing is a very happy sound.

So this afternoon we took the kids out to walk around the neighborhood again and then to play at the McDonald's play place. They had a great time playing there, too. Sarah was playing with a girl a year or two older than her, who Sarah called "little girl" and "little birdie," alternately. Stephen is still too small to climb up on hardly any of the equipment up entertained himself running around in circles. Also, he went over and made quick friends with some little girls, some of whom were giving him french fries.

Mama: Look, he always makes friends with the girls very quickly!

Sarah: Come here little girl. You wanna go up there little girl? Lets go! Little birdie come on! (Screech!) Wanna play with me little birdie?

Imagine Sarah At Every Level, The Structure Bouncing,
And Sarah Moving Back And Forth All Over
With Lots Of Other Kids

Stephen Kept Crawling In There And
Then Needing Help To Get Back Out
