Accapadi time

After we left the Burkhart house, we headed over to the Accapadi house. JP had not gotten a chance to meet Saaya. We believe that friendships are formed early so Emma and Saaya had some playtime on the blanket together. We have enjoyed a wonderful friendship with Mamta for over 14 years, and we really hope our kids can develop a wonderful friendship as well.

Emma is older by two months, but Saaya is almost as big as her. Mamta also says that the best friends will also have a wonderful protector by the name of Carlos. That was obvious when he decided to join them on the floor, by laying next to them. I bonded with Saaya by clipping her nails so she doesn't scratch her mommy and daddy. Saaya bonded with her Godfather by falling asleep on his chest. She was quite comfy for awhile even amidst all the noise from our older children.

I must also mention that auntie Mamta and uncle Jos were nice enough to teach John David and Sammy how to play thumb wars. Uncle Jos even taught them the word "distraction," so now they know how to distract you so they can take something away. It was really quite funny at first, but now they fully understand the concept.

I'm sure that after an hour auntie Mamta and uncle Jos were ready to have their quiet house back. They informed us that as soon as we left Saaya would take over the noisemaker role and their house would not be quiet. We couldn't believe them since Saaya was completely quiet the whole time we were there.
