Week Day Play

Tess has hit a super-social phase lately, and when we are home she almost never settles into playing by herself. She begs me to call up one of her friends, is happiest when spending the day hopping from one playdate to another, and if no friends are available, then she wants either TV or my constant attention.

So it was a fun break one afternoon to stumble upon this work when walking home from visiting a friend. Tess asked to stay and watch for over half-an-hour while the backhoe ripped up the road and loaded it into a dump truck.

It was noisy, but fascinating.

There was one brief period of time Friday afternoon where she settled into her own play. She had been taking her dog for a walk around the house, and then asked for my help tying him up, because she needed to go shopping.
