siblings

it's as though mya has three new siblings. she is beyond excited about our neighbor's three children. today she walked right into their house before being invited in. the oldest is 'amabel', a creative version of 'anabelle'. mya stares at her with stars in her eyes as if she can't wait to be ten years old, just like amabel. in fact, when a. suggested she may go swimming, m., who does not know how to swim, said, 'i want to swim just like you!' i honestly think mya could move in with this family and not miss a beat.
