Isla (pronounced EYE-la) lives up in Tahoe with her parents and is 3 1/2 years old. Her parents sometimes drop into our town for tennis tournaments, hosted at our gym. We promised we'd try to get together the next time this happened.
Yesterday Isla and Jasmine had their first playdate. Here they are in the locker room after having a swim. A rare moment of stillness, trust me.
Because it was more like this the rest of the time. The girls were somehow convinced to put their clothes on and play in daycare while the parents all went about various physical activities.
Have I mentioned how much I love our new gym? Besides babysitting, 2 swimming pools and a hot tub, they also have a playground. And since joining in January, I have met 3 families with children from China. Since we don't have a local FCC group and we traveled to China with our friends who live on the East coast, I'm always on the lookout for children and families that Jasmine can identify with. I had the good fortune of being able to hang out with girls while Isla's parents played their tennis matches.
A lunch break. Why is it that someone else's lunch always looks better than your own? 3 year olds are funny. Sharing is optional--it can happen with complete abandon or discerningly. I witnessed both, but let's just say they aren't going to starve.
Next stop for Isla and Jasmine? Tahoe. Can't wait.

Yep 3 year olds can be the strangest creatures on the planet - just so you know! They (whoever
'they' are) are really mistaken, it's not the terrible twos - they meant to say the terrible threes! But still - they bring us much joy - and it's well worth it!
hugs - aus and co.
