is a 9-year-old girl named Natalie, who is the daughter of our friends Melissa and Steve who live in Lake Oswego. We went to their house for dinner tonight. Natalie and her 11-year-old brother, Jeremy, really took a shine to Rachel and took her downstairs to play while the adults talked. Apparently Jeremy was trying to teach Rachel how to kick a soccer ball. Trying to explain the concept of being on a team, he told her, "OK, Rachel. You DON'T LIKE Natalie" (because she's on the opposite team).
Trying to test Rachel, he said, "Do you you like Natalie?"
"Yah," she said, grinning.
"Do you like ME?" he said.
"Yah," she said.
I guess it will be a while before Rachel is ready for competitive soccer!
Steve and Melissa sent us home with a bunch of their kids' old stuff, an assortment of odds and ends (paper dolls, plastic buckets of Jack-o-lanterns) that I put upstairs. They should amuse Rachel for hours on a really crummy day, weather-wise, like today was.
