A Visit with Friends

Darrin and I have been considering the possibility of getting Rebekah her first real dollhouse for a combo birthday/Christmas present this year. We had thought about it last year and decided to hold off one more year since Rebekah was not a huge doll player. In anticipation of seeing how Rebekah would enjoy a dollhouse we went to LeeAnne's and Maggie's house to play so Rebekah could play with Maggie's Fisher-Price Loving Family Twin Time Dollhouse. Rebekah played with the house for about 10 minutes them moved on to other toys and activities. I am not sure if this is an indication that she still would not play with one much or if there were just so many other things to do that she preferred.

Rebekah and Maggie had a blast playing together! The girls don't get an opportunity much for the two of them to play one-on-one, so this was a great opportunity to give them that time together. They enjoyed each other's company so much and played so well together. Rebekah was tired by the time we left but she did not want to leave!

Joshua also enjoyed himself a lot. Once he discovered the stairs he was all about practicing climbing the steps. He does not have the opportunity to climb stairs at home since we have a rancher, so he did everything within his power to get to the stairs and climb. He never went past four steps because he would look back then climb down again, but it was good practice for him.

Joshua also enjoyed carrying around the daddy doll to the dollhouse. I guess he could relate. LOL! He also played with the dollhouse some, which I found was funny that he played with it as much as he did. Every once in a while he also plays with Rebekah's Fisher-Price Little People Sweet Sounds Home. He likes the noises it makes.

Here are some pictures from the day with our friends.

What a fun day we had! Thanks again, LeeAnne, for having us!
