Drew has had Rachel mostly to himself the last two days as I wrap up a long story. Yesterday, he said a little girl, about 2, came up to Rachel and gave her a hug! Then she planted a kiss on her cheek! Rachel was a bit startled but didn't cry. She ended up touching the other little girl's face. It sounded so sweet, I wish I'd been there.
Today they met another little girl, Betty. Her mother said she walked at 10 months of age. Apparently she and Rachel hit it off. Rachel was climbing all over the play structure at the park, sliding down the slide, and discovering the game of tennis. She whined for a tennis ball and a guy teaching his daughter to play rolled one to her. So, she proceeded to talk a couple of steps holding Drew's hand, with the tennis ball in her hand. Then she threw it ahead, and toddled after it, holding Drew's hand. She did this for a long time.
I guess this means I'll have to teach her how to play tennis. She will probably beat me in straight sets by the time she is, oh, 8 or so.
