Neighbor Girls

Elora has been lucky the last year or two. When we first moved here, most the kids in the neighborhood were older than ours, and the few that were younger were all boys. But because we live in student housing, there is a turnover every year or so and now...there are tons of little girls! Almost all of them are between the ages of 3 and 5, just like Elora!
True, we don't hang out with them as much as we could, partly because the other kids all have busy schedules, and partly because mommy can be anti-social. But this year especially, Elora has had so much fun!
There were kids to play with at important events (this was at Halloween), and most any time we go outside on sunny days.




Sometimes, Elora gets to do fun girly things she doesn't get to do at home, like play dress up!
And Elora has been lucky to be invited to lots of parties in the last few months: A Tinkerbell party, Pinkalicious party, and a dance party to name a few. (Isn't that the fakest smile you've ever seen? On Elora that is.)



A few weeks ago, there was even an outside tea party! Yeah, Elora spilled her juice almost right away, but it was so nice to be with the other girls.



Its a little sad that we'll be moving in a few months, but not so sad when you realize almost everyone else is moving soon too. Oh wait, that IS sad! However, most of these bigger girls will be going to kindergarten next year too (Elora won't because her birthday isn't till October) so that might have changed things anyway.


We're just lucky that we were all here at this perfect time for little girls to play and have fun together. Thanks girls!


(and yes, Josh has lots of kids his age too, he loves playing with all the other boys outside!)
