Playful Posse

Granted she's a bit young, but Quinn is off to a good start with establishing her posse of friends.

Borrowing from my meager stash of local high school friends, Quinn had her first play date with the ever giggling and inquiring Theo -- a friend's seven month old munchkin who has more charm than most seventy year olds.

A bundle of giggles and inquiry, Theo didn't wait to be entertained -- he discovered his own objects of interest. Meanwhile, Quinn sat nearby, curious but not eager to engage with him. Quietly she assessed and observed Theo, who must have looked like a kid on 'roids to her because he looked like a toddler to me.

Being that his hostess wasn't particularly intriguing, Theo discovered something far more captivating: a healthy stockpile of magazines (to gnaw on, of course).

It appears the world takes on a totally different nidus and flavor when your gums are continually being punctured by incoming teeth, and magazines are a delectable treat!

Overall, Quinn's first play date was a real success.

No one bit or was bitten, there wasn't a spelling bee-like competition of swear words (that will come), and no one took a crap in the cat box (yet another reason to hope Jack's genes prevail). A grand time I'm looking forward to repeating again!

To the good times ahead,
Mama Murphy & Quizzical Quinn
