Cousin Sarah

Amelia met her 4 month-old cousin Sarah Saturday and seemed to think baby Sarah was an okay person until Mommy put Sarah on her lap. Amelia got really upset and even told Mommy, "Melia's Mommy Lap!" over and overa again several times, while pointing at said lap for emphasis and clarity, but it was like Mommy didn't understand because Sarah stayed there a loooong time (or so it seemed to Amelia who had crocodile tears running down her face and everything). Mommy had to put Sarah down and pick Amelia up, carry her away from everyone else and sing the "Hi Lili" song before she would calm down. Then Mommy tried to sit with everyone again, and even though she was still holding Amelia, the crying commenced again, so Mommy walked around with Amelia some more singing the Lili song. Poor Amelia.

Sunday's playdate was not traumatic in the least, but we were in a home with lots of cool toys, so that probably helped.
