Making Friends

We are all looking forward to Molly's birthday party this weekend. We're having a few grown-up friends over, as well as two of Molly's friends from her Saturday music class. We'll see how we do with so many people in our small little house.

Molly has recently been repeating the names of some of the other kids at daycare - she's finally learning that there are other kids in the world! We hear her say "Carson, Madison, Nicky, Riley..." over and over. She can't yet tell us much about them - the most we get is "Nicky tickle." Although none of the kids from daycare are coming to the birthday party, we hope she'll find a few good friends among the kids there as time goes by.

Another name she has just learned is "Obama!" We're thrilled that our 44th president has such an easy name for toddlers to pronounce. I certainly hope she grows up to be an engaged and educated voter. One of my happy memories is going with my parents to the voting booth on Election Day. I can't wait to take Molly with me one day.
