putting this here though sarah wont be 3 until august.

sarah gets so upset when máire and lyl go a couple of streets over to play with friends. i mean like throwing a tantrum, upset. i try explaining that shes too little to go, ive tried inviting those girls over here (but they are 4-7 and their mamas arent comfy with them walking over here), ive tried distracting her, but nothing works.

Abigale is 10 and Vicoria is 4 so we are really going though this alot this year. Abigale is old enough that now that it is nice out she can ride her bike to some houses and Victoria gets so mad/sad each time. For the most part I try to get the girls to play here even if that means I have to drive/walk them. She has a couple friends that have younger sibs and the moms get it so they don't mind her tagging along or when they come here I invite the sib to play with Victoria. Last year though I would sometimes throw Victoria in the bath right before Abigale would leave, seemed if she didn't see her go she didn't mind as much. or get her interested in a special toy or treat like ice cream.

I just want to say good luck. I know that I have a minor complex about not being good enough because my older sister never wanted to play with me. I say never, but you know what I mean. Maybe you guys could walk over and meet them or something..
