Sometimes e takes a while to warm up to new people, or even to remember those she has met before. Such was the case with Erik this week. When she saw him and Sarah on Christmas Eve, she hesitated to get close even though she had met him two or three times before. The same on Christmas Day. But Monday night Sarah and Erik babysat her so her parents could go to dinner and a movie. They played with her and gave her dinner, and by bedtime she and Erik were good friends. She called him and Aunt Sarah by name.
I'm glad Sarah and Erik were here for almost a week, so they could spend time with their local friends and also with us. Wednesday night we four went to see "Moana," a beautifully drawn movie with a great heroine (who reminded me of e) and memorable music. Then we ate at Burma Superstar, a restaurant on Park Street that Sarah had mentioned wanting to try. The food was good, as was the service, but prices were a bit high. When we got home we played a cooperative card game they brought from San Diego, called Hanabi. I think it's the only game I've ever played where you hold your cards face out, so you can't see them but everyone else can.
We also introduced Erik to one of our favorite movies, "Switching Channels," which Randy bought me for Christmas. I'm not sure what he thought of it.
