missing her brother

During the 3 half days a week that Thomas is in preschool, Meredith and I have all those hours alone. I've been going to a gym so she spends a little time in the gym's "kids' club", but then we have plenty of time afterward for fun things. We've been taking classes, going to playdates, running errands, or even just hanging out at a coffeeshop...

Today we met up with some friends at the park, went to music class and had lunch with a girlfriend and her 19 month old daughter. All very fun for Meredith, but really? Nothing makes her as happy as spending time with her brother. Her whole face lights up, she's much more active, she smiles continuously... Meredith clearly misses Thomas when he is in preschool.

After preschool today Thomas was tired and wanted to just lay quietly on the kitchen floor. And his baby sister? There was no place else she'd rather be than right there beside him on the floor.
