hi nikki

That's Nikki's blue car on the street.

Avery has always been on watch for Nikki in the mornings and now he has Sister in on the act. Avery will open the slider, go out there and wait for Nikki to arrive while Viv scootches behind. Initially, I was a little leery about letting her have free reign on the porch because the concrete has the potential to scratch soft leggies. However, she is a pretty accomplished scootcher at this point and I figure that she won't go out there if it hurts her.

So, both kids watch and wait. Then, upon her arrival there is an explosion of "Hi's!" Nikki is such a good sport about such things and it makes me so happy that they get so excited to spend the day with her.
