Maura's away; Maggie will play.

This weekend Maura went camping with my parents. She has been gone since around noon on Friday. I have talked to her and my parents a few times, sounds like they are having a ball.You know who else is having a ball? Maggie.

Usually Maggie is a little shy when she goes somewhere new or sees new people (or sometimes even people she sees all the time). Sean and I learned that it may just be that she has her big sister to blame. Maggie was great this weekend. Her tantrums were cut in half. She was so funny and so outgoing. We went to my Aunt Therese's house yesterday. Before we went I was thinking about how long it would take Maggie to get off my lap and be comfortable. Well, I was shocked. She did her usual commentary in the car on the way to Delaware, and really never stopped. She was happy to see everyone; made herself comfy, especially in the pool, and was showing Gabriella (whose g-mom's house it is) all around. Even "sharing" her own toys with her. I loved it.

She did say she missed her, eventually, but on Sunday when I asked her if she missed Mo. She said, "No, not really." I am glad we had the time to see Mags shine for a few days.

It's so funny how different sibs can be without each other. I think esp. since M&M are so close in age it is probably even more pronounced!

Hope Mo had fun camping...sounds like the rest of you had a great week!
