Babysitting the Bollins

Last week, Sgt. Bollin asked if we could babysit his girls for a few hours so that he and Ami could go out to dinner alone. We gladly accepted, and I hurried to get the house clean before their arrival!

Marley had a hard time remembering how to share at first. It was a little upsetting to her that Abby and Ainsley were wanting to play with her toys! But she got over it and we all ended up having a blast together! The girls played shopping, we read books, I helped them hang upside down on the couch, they ate PB&Js, and chased each other through the house. We did have a little drama over candy and arguments over sharing, but it wasn't anything serious. Everyone recovered within a few seconds.It was amazing to see Marley play with her friends and want to be a big kid. At one point, Abby and Ainsley were running in a really tight circle in Marley's room, trying to get her to do the same thing. She looked at them like they were crazy and never did it. About 5 minutes later, she came in the kitchen where I was and started running in a circle just like the girls had done. She had a huge smile on her face when she finished, like she had really done something cool!

Sometimes I wish she already had sibling, so that she would have someone to play with all the time. But, she doesn't... so we'll have to keep spending time with friends!
