Ally is such a homebody sometimes. This past weekend she declined every offer we made to get her out of the house. A strategy we use to each get a break is to take turns taking Ally with us on errands, I go grocery shopping and Ally goes with me, so Becky can stay home and grade papers and fold laundry. Then Becky might take Ally to the library so I can prep dinner and straighten the house for example. But sometimes Ally wants nothing to do with it. Finally we said she could stay home, but she had to play by herself, no playing with mama or mommy (or which ever one of us stayed home). She agreed and proceeded to get out her Ladybug board game and play with Kitty! Its not the first time we've seen her playing a game with her Special Kitty, but it was the first time I got a picture of it. Later on she got out Candy Land, but the camera battery died and I missed getting a picture of that. It's awesome though to see her playing so securely and confidently by herself. She had 4 play dates this weekend, so its not like she didn't play with other kids, or doesn't enjoy having friends over, or going to their houses. But she enjoys playing at home with her stuff by herself too.
