"Na-na-na-na-na"
Baby has a new best friend. Her cousin, Natalie, just spent 5 days with us and now she can't stop asking for her. She calls her "Na-na-na-na-na". Sometimes I hear her calling out Na-na's name from her crib as she wakes from a nap. I had to remind her this morning that Na-na went home a few days ago.
Natalie flew out here from Wisconsin with her Mom (my sister) and stayed with us while my sister attended a conference in the area. It was such a special treat. Natalie is the sweetest pre-teen you'll ever meet, and she is so good with babies. She takes pride in having her own "style", meaning that she's not too girly, but a little bit of a tom-boy, likes hip-hop music (and is obsessed with Fergie, but somehow also likes Elvis), loves to play sports, wears her emotions on her sleeve which means she can cry at the drop of a hat, and primarily wears baseball hats, plaid shorts, and Life is Good t-shirts. She's one of a kind.
While she was here, we went sightseeting a lot (we saw the Capitol, the White House, the monuments, the museums), to the pool a couple times (she loved the water slides), to the Arlington County Fair (which is nothing like the Wisconsin State Fair), out to eat a few times (Thai, Vietnamese, Lebanese and Italian) and also did some shopping (so I could buy my niece some new plaid shorts). Most of the time, however, we just hung around the house and played. We were all sad to say goodbye when she (and my sister) left on Monday night and we're counting the days until our next trip to Wisconsin...
