growing up


"Can Poppie come out to play?"

My first reaction was to say NO and shut the door. She's only two and a half, after all. But I remembered my manners, and invited our little neighbor boy in and they played for a while. She showed him all "the guys" (stuffed animals), and they philosophised about if the biggest cow is the daddy cow or just a pillow. Before long they were snuggled up on the couch under Blankie. Poppie doesn't snuggle or share Blankie with just anyone, so I relaxed and came to accept that she really is grown up enough to play with the older neighbor kids.
