playmates

Over the weekend, Meg found herself some playmates. The landlord's kids. The boy is about Meg's age and the girl is just 2 years old.

We were outside last Sunday messing around and she saw the boy. She ran to the playground and started to swing. The boy saw her and he had a ball with him and he started kicking the ball around. They tentatively talked to each other and pretty soon, they were playing.

Later on, the little girl came out and she started playing with her at our porch/garage. Meg went inside the house and Tobi, the little girl, followed her inside. Meg called me and said, Mom, I have a problem with Tobi. I went inside the house and saw Tobi in Meg's bedroom and was playing with her toys, toys all over the floor. See, she's making a mess. And then, I have to clean it up. I told her not to worry, I'll help her clean up.

Tobi stayed in our house for around 30 minutes. By this time, Meg was getting tired of playing with the little girl and she wants Tobi to go home. So, we told her to talk to Tobi and tell her it's time to go see her Mum.

They haven't played since then.
