First kiss

Caroline got (and gave) her first kiss last night to an older man, Gunnar Westland (who is all of 16 months). Gunnar, his big sister Pippa and mom Amber came over for a playdate and dinner last night, along with Bronwyn and Lauren. Amber is new to the area, but has quickly become a part of the neighborhood "scene." :-) Gunnar is Caroline's first real friend...up until now, she's always tagged behind Nora and her friends, wishing she could do all the things they do. It's interesting to see how possessive she gets when Gunnar plays with her toys; I'm so used to it being the other way around, with Nora wresting her toys out of Caroline's hands. It's funny to see that Caroline is just as determined and strong-willed as her big sister (Lord, help me!). Caroline also has a new favorite game - pressing her face up against the cover of her music toy box. Nora, knowing how cute Caroline is when she does that, tried to do the same. Nice try, dear. Today is a rainy day - we'll probably stay indoors and are looking forward to another play/dinner date tonight at Nora's classmate's house (Isabel - along with big brother Sammy and mom Holly, also Navy). Then tomorrow it's off to Richmond to meet up with the Duba family -- fun times!
