Poor Neglected Tessa

I was not giving Tessa much attention this morning. I cleaned the freezer, put some laundry in, ran on the treadmill and then took a shower. She is just so good at entertaining herself. She colored for a while and played with some toys. Finally she came into the bathroom and saw that I was drying my hair and getting ready for the day. Without even saying a word, she went and got the Chutes and Ladders game and set it up on the floor beside me. She got 2 players out and started playing. She would spin and move herself, then spin and say, "you got a 6 mom ... you get to climb the ladder!" ... and she would move my player along. She happily played a whole 2 player game of Chutes and Ladders without me doing a thing. As soon as I was done in the bathroom, I sat down and played a round with her so I guess she wasn't totally neglected.
