Playdate Fun

One of the things that I was excited about before my kids came home from Ethiopia, was arranging playdates . I am still excited about this and as more children come home to their forever families, there will be more opportunities for playdates with Ethiopian buddies. (Can't wait to have little M from Abbotsford and M from Vancouver join us VERY soon!! Yeah, come on guys and gals...we're waiting to play!)
A couple of weeks ago, Ayana had a playdate with a little friend, T, that was in the foster home in Addis at the same time as her and Moses. When T was shown their referral pictures, she told her mom that she used to play with Ayana and had even helped with Moses in the baby room.
What fun for them to reconnect here in Vancouver! They have seen each other at our Vancouver dinners, but this was the first "proper" play date. They had so much fun playing with my Little Pony and of course dressing up! First they dressed up as princesses, then as animals, then back to princesses.
We have many fun costumes at our house to choose from..spider man, batman, cowboys, princesses, cats, pirates, medieval ladies dresses etc etc...the list goes on and on. However, poor Moses was on this occasion "roped" (pun intended!) into being a cow!
Here he is, oblivious of the fact that everybody else chooses more glamorous costumes, like fairy princesses complete with sparkly wings and tiaras! (Maybe that's a good thing :) )

The goodbye hug, Ayana still dressed as Tigger! Aren't they beautiful!
