who needs big sisters?

kam really surprised me yesterday . . . she is usually toddling around trying to keep up with ken and mck and they are usually trying to distract her with something so she'll leave them alone and not mess up whatever it is they are trying to play. well, they decided that they were going to play some games on the computer (which they've gotten pretty good at doing all by themselves) so i took kam outside in the backyard to play.

she entertained herself long after they'd finished playing on the computer . . . she was on her own little mission and very content to play by herself! she played in the playhouse and climbed up the play scape, sat in the swing for a few minutes, checked out the bunny, then played in the sand . . . filling up truck after truck and then starting all over again.

ken and mck came outside and called to her to come play . . . she looked up at them and then just kept playing in the sand . . . like she was saying "i'm fine all by myself!".
