Ryan and Megan arrived last Saturday for their yearly week-long visit. They come at the same time as basketball camp so Megan is showing off her camp skills this week while Ryan is helping Matt with all the logistal stuff.
Diana is really enjoying her cousins. She's ready to get outta bed in the morning and even asks "Where's Ryan and Megan?"
When she sees them as she's coming down the stairs in the morning, she gets that shy little smile on her face. She's so excited to start her day by seeing them.
On our way home from school, all she can talk about is getting home so that she can play with them. When we walk in the door, she doesn't even take the time to put down her art or take her shoes off. She runs into the house and heads over to play with them.
On Tuesday, Diana told me "Mommy, I took a nap today." I replied with "Diana, that's great. Now you'll have more energy to stay up and play with Megan tonight."
"And Ryan, Mommy," she said in a very matter-of-fact 3-year-old tone.
She plays with them in her playroom until we pull her away to get ready for bed. They play trains, they play with her basketball hoop, they play with her easel. And Diana laughs and laughs. She was so hysterical Monday night I thought she was going to get a cramp in her stomach from laughing so hard.
She pays no mind to Matt and me. But, honestly, we have so much fun watching her play with them that we really don't mind.
It's a trip to watch Diana play with teenagers. We don't get to see her interact with kids her own age at school so to watch her play with Ryan and Megan is a lot of fun.
Thanks, Bonnie and Tony, for letting us borrow your kids!

Diana looks like she is smiling super hard or laughing really hard in that first picture. I'm glad she is having a good time with her cousins. She is going to be SO sad when they leave!!
