Oly and I babysat our friend Magda's baby earlier in the week while her nanny was snowed in up the coast. Eydie is a delightful little 8 month old who was happy to have someone to wrastle with other than her 4 year old brother Xander.
Olympia played very sweetly with her, but in full disclosure I must add that she tried to use her as a step to get up on the couch and also tried to pick her up by the back of the shirt. (Not so coincidentally we're now trying to call her doll a "dolly" and not a "baby". We need to differentiate for her apparently).
She is really into 'playing real life' right now, i.e. feeding a bottle to her dolly, brushing her teeth 10 times a day, and as in this picture- buckling into and then out of, Xander's car seat 25 times.
We even braved an outing to Joann fabrics. Two babies is more than one baby, fyi.
If you have any time at ALL you must go click on their blog, "The Raponi Chronicles" on the right of the screen and scroll halfway down to two videos of Xander singing and dancing. The kid is a creative genius, there is no doubt. I assure you, you will not be disappointed. And remember folks: Santa knows when you're a'sleeping and he knows when you're awake.
