Best Buds

People used to tell me that one day my kids would become friends and entertain one another for a given amount of time without needing Mom. I have to admit that I didn't really believe those people. But magically, that day has come. Elise and Steven are best buddies. Lately there are times when a half an hour goes by before I realize that things are very quiet and I wonder what they are up to. My brain immediately goes to the worst case scenario, but when I find them they are playing together oh so nicely. It is really beautiful. I am almost caught up on laundry, which almost never happens. I have time to get to things that I normally put off forever for a lack of time. I am loving it, and I also think it is cute that they are becoming such good buddies. Elise always tells me, "Mom, Steven is my best friend." What cuties!
