Feeding the animals at the zoo

When Charlotte's buddy, Madison, was over for pizza yesterday, Peter and I had no idea we would be treated to lunch AND a show.  Those two little monkeys ate all of their meals (except for Madison's carrots, which Charlotte happily finished for her), but they were awfully goofy while doing it.

First, they decided they had to swap plates because each preferred the other's pizza shape (one was cut up, one was left intact based on my experience feeding them pizza in the past).  Then, they just HAD to treat each other to reciprocal up-close-and-personal views of the pizza as it was chewed.  We all busted up when Madison suddenly realized (and then gleefully announced) that she had forgotten to put her pants back on after going potty before lunch.  Next, Charlotte requested a bib.  Of course Madison needed one too, they decided.  They couldn't go two seconds without poking at each other for some reason or another, and then they really had a field day shrieking in mock horror when Peter was let down from his high chair, because they were sure he was going to eat all of their food.  (Well, he did toddle over and steal their forks.)

We love Madison and I'm hoping we will be able to have her over lots when she joins Charlotte in the ranks of big sister in a few months.  She loves taking care of baby dolls, but I wonder what she's going to think a real baby living in her house!
