we've had a couple of firsts in 'play' arena in the last few days!
luci has lots & lots of play dates, but the play is usually just two or more kiddos each doing their own thing in the same room, with the extent of interaction being occasionally going after the same toy followed by one or more kiddos in tears.

but...on thursday luci actually played WITH clara! clara wanted to roll a ball back & forth...i told her i thought luci might like to do that with her. so i sat on the floor with luci, and helped her roll the ball back to clara. after maybe 10 rolls, luci decided she wanted to sit on her chair to play roll the ball. so clara would roll the ball to me, i'd pick it up & give it to luci, and luci would actually roll the ball to clara. all by herself. she was SO excited she turned into a goofy giggle monster...eagerly anticipating the ball coming back & then pushing it away back to clara in delight. it was super fun to see :-)! she did not repeat today at her friend eleanor's birthday party...luci was very much back to doin her own thing...often heading to where no one else was (outside if everyone was inside, or inside if everyone was outside)...which i think is totally normal for her age. but man, it was sure fun to see her little eyes light up & delight in playing WITH clara.
luci also colored for the first time this week. we sent baby asher his blanket yesterday & luci helped me make his card. she scribbled on it & put a few pumpkin stickers on the front just to spruce it up a bit. after the successful card making venture, i decided it might be time to start regularly playing with crayons....here are some photos from our first attempt!
how exciting!
VERY proud of herself!
double fisting some crayons...i think she is right handed, but i'm not 100% sure yet
putting the crayons back in the box...this seemed to be a more familiar type of task
and then throwing them all at once...so we are now working on how we treat our crayons...

she's also become a babbling fool in the last few days. damom, dad, dad, dad, daaaaaaadmom, mom, mom, momdaaa, dadmom....all in a row...all day long. duuwwwuuuu was a new one as of this morning. seems she's just bursting with sound lately...it is lovely to hear her sweet (very deep ;) voice. i wonder if it will stay this deep?!?!?!?

Love the pictures....Alivia loves to use colors/markers/pens/chalk/paint....I hate the mess:-) I've learned that the only markers she can use are the color wonder ones that only write on the special paper..she doesn't seem to mind. I totally understand what you mean by how exciting it is to see Luci "playing" with friends. I love to watch Avery and Alivia play...you should move this way sooner than later....Alivia and Luci would be BFF:-)
Coloring already? SHe is going to have some beautiful penmanship. So cute as always.
Too bad Luci won't be with you this week. Noelle's favorite game is "roll the ball back and forth..." :)
