About a month ago Sadie started declaring that I was her best friend. It then morphed into loudly whispering "Mom, you're my best friend" within earshot of Alex. He would but on a mean face, playfully stomp at her and dish out tickle torture - all while Sadie is laughing hysterically. She has not tired of the game, and we both love it. Occasionally Alex will pretend to cry that he hasn't made it into the best friend zone, and she'll comfort him by saying "it's ok Daddy, you're my best friend too." Ah, my little baby with compassion and comic timing.
Yesterday I picked up a new BFF for her - Ariel. This doll has gone everywhere with us for the past 24 hours. We took a ride to Orleans to visit some friends today and made a stop at Nauset Beach so Ariel, Princess of the Seas, could see the ocean and call to her father, King Triton. Just can't make that stuff up, I swear.
In addition to giving Ariel a grand tour of the beach, Sadie was hard at work creating, what she called, "Smushed Cape Cod" masterpieces all over the sand. Behold!
