Important Firsts

What a busy week it's been! My nieces came over on Wednesday afternoon and stayed the night. They were very excited because this was their first over night in the new house. They are both quite taken with the idea of firsts. When Isabel made one visit to the house, I told her that she was the first person to ring our doorbell. Now every time she comes, she is sure to ring the bell and remind me that she did it before anyone else. On this visit, they were both the first (at the same time because otherwise there would be trouble) to take a bath in our bathtub. They both thought that was pretty amazing, and now they may want to have a bath whenever they come over. I haven't had the heart to explain that other families lived in this house, and took baths, long before we ever came along...
