Maddie and Ri-Ri

I really like living across the street from the playground. Maddie looks out the window to see if anybody is out there and then decides that she must go play with her friends right then and there. She opens the front door and yells, "Hi friends" at the top of her lungs. She gets to the street and then announces to them that she must wait a minute to cross the street because she has to look for cars!

I just love watching Ri-Ri and Maddie together... in a way they are like an old married couple. They love each other most of the time and then every once in awhile, Maddie does her Maddie "thang" and Ri-Ri just looks at her as if to say, "oh, get over yourself!" I LOVE IT!

Maddie always has the biggest smile on her face when she plays with Ri-Ri. They love to do everything kids should be doing together. They chase each other, they play hide and seek. Ri-Ri even has pretend tea parties with her (for short moments) and she even sometimes let's him put sand on her head. I had to laugh really hard the other day though when he had done this and she insisted on coming in and changing her clothes because she was too dirty. As I said, the "get over yourself" look came out fast!

Thanks for playing with us Ri-Ri! You are one cool kid and Maddie loves you tons... just wait until she asks for that first kiss! Can you imagine???!!!!
