Raya visits all day

Today I finally had a chance to stay home. My dear friend Candice had to go to the hospital to have a procedure done. A sensitive one so I won't talk about it much. Her son Dylan is in first grade as well so she had Raya to worry about. Raya is six months older than Priyasha and they are best buddies. I offered to watch Raya for her today. She was dropped off at 9am and stayed until 4:30 pm.

The girls had a blast together. They played very well and there was no fighting. Raya even let me braid her hair. The girls loved playing kitchen and baby dolls. We went for a short walk outside but it was about 95 degrees. Both girls were asleep when Pravan got off the bus. I always wait outside for him. Today he got off the bus with his lunch box in his hands and a band aid on his hand as well. He fell at the playground today. It was a small cut but it breaks my heart that I will no longer be there when he is at school. I guess he is becoming more independent.

Dylan stopped by with his grandparents to pick Raya up. Pravan was sad that he could not stay and play. I promised him we will have another play date on a different day. After they left I cooked dinner and had Pravan practice some reading. I feel like the night is so rushed as it is dark earlier and the kids have to go to bed at 8pm. It has been a long day especially since I have to get up early.
