A new baby!

This is Greta. She is the daughter of Chris and Emily, friends of ours from church. I'm watching her three days a week. Greta is three months younger than Maryam, and about half of her size. She is a sweet, smiley, happy little girl, and I'm lucky to be able to take care of her. She and Maryam get along very well, but as you'll see in the pictures below, there is a lot of toy-snatching that goes on. But if you put them across the room from each other, they'll both crawl towards each other.Maryam and Greta are each happily playing with their own toys at first. Maryam looks up, and sees that Greta has something that she doesn't. Actually, it wouldn't even matter if Maryam had the exact same thing that Greta did, because she would want it anyway.
While Greta is distracted by a spoon, Maryam smiles and reaches out her hand to get Greta's cup.
Maryam has stolen Greta's cup, and is happy. Poor Greta is not so happy. And although it may look like it, Maryam does not hit Greta with the cup. In the end, both babies are playing with different toys.

The End!
