This morning my friend Becca and her daughter Grace came over for a playdate. Before they arrived Bree and I had a brief discussion about Grace being little still (she's over a year younger than Bree) and how we needed to treat her nice and share toys. (You know, trying to lead into the responsible big sister thing. Good practice.) And, actually I was very proud of Brianna. She did a great job of sharing and was never rough with Grace at all. They actually hugged several times and Bree even patted Grace on the head once. So, overall it was a great visit, except for Bree had to explain a few things to Becca about what is and isn't a good snack to nibble on...
At one point during the morning Becca grabbed Gracie up and was kind of nibbling on her little cheeks and neck. Grace was laughing and having a great time with it. I got in on it by teasing Bree and saying "Oh no! Becca's eating Grace!" Not to be left out Bree ran up and asked Becca to "eat" her cheeks too. (She's familiar with this game since we often tease her about being a "corn" baby and Trav will hold her while blowing rasperries on her belly, telling her she's like a corn on the cob.) Obligingly Becca scooped Brianna up as well and blew a few rasperries on her neck and made smacking noises. "Oh no!" I said, "Becca's eating Bree now!" Bree giggled but then as soon as Becca sat her down she changed her tune. She got a serious look on her face and pointed her little finger at Becca and said, "You don't eat kids. Kids are NOT snacks!" It made Becca laugh...but I think Bree was quite serious. :)
