We saw some friends today. They have two daughters, 4 and 8. It was so fun! We spent a long time playing in the kids' area at the downtown REI, and then we spent some more time playing in the lobby of their hotel.
On Tuesday, MJ and Chloe and I went up to Bellingham to get acquainted with some people in the Bellingham Radical Unschoolers group (BRU-Ha-Ha). There were three little girls there, 5 and 4 and 18 months. We built with Kapla blocks and ran around the house, and MJ let the 4yo listen to her iPod. (Rudy was there, too, but I'll save him as a gift for another day.)
On Thanksgiving, we were at my mom's and got to spend time with three of my six local nieces (for a total of eight granddaughters for my mom). These three nieces are 10 and 6 and 3. We drank Martinelli's and ate fudge (among other things) and watched a movie.
We have for several years been surrounded by little girls. I love it! This is not to in any way disparage little boys, because I love hanging out with them, too. But I suppose because I have daughters, there is just something amazing about having so many girls in our sphere, some essentially female chemistry that gets going when we get so many of them together in one place or, as with this week, have visits with so many in quick succession.
Frank is perpetually outnumbered. I don't think he minds it too much.
