Play date for Rosie

Play date for Rosie
August 9, 2008




Rosie & I took a trip up to Elmwood Park yesterday and spent Friday night in Uncle Jared’s room. In addition to playing with family, we also had a special play date with Isabella Panagia.

Rosie & Isabella started out playing in the front yard in the inflatable bounce castle (complete with ball pit and inflatable swords). At first – the two girls pretty much ignored each other. Rosie would make a move for Isabella every now and again – but she was honestly more interested in Isabella’s Mommy’s diaper bag and what was inside that she could take!

However – it wasn’t long before the girls warmed up to each other and started to play…a little. We took turns in the ball-pit-castle and on the slide. We shared some chocolate chip cookies and chocolate covered strawberries…and eventually, we made our way inside to change into our “baby chutes” (bathing suits) for a swim in the pool.

Isabella is just four months older than Rosie – and it was neat to see the two girls together. They got along just fine – although they didn’t “play” a lot, but worked on “co-existing” more. It will just be a matter of time before they have something else in common, aside from their age and just being girls – they will also both be big sisters! (Congratulations to John & Jennifer Panagia!)
