"She hugged me!"

We've known from early on that Ella loves to play. Now, I'm realizing how much she loves to play with "big kids". She seems to like kids in age 3 range the best. They're small enough for her to relate to yet big enough that she can't clobber them. Last night we went to church and left Ella in the nursery. I came in part way through the service to nurse her and I could barely drag her away from the kids. She was just having too much fun. After the service we came to pick her up and one little boy (about age 3) exclaimed, "We're friends! She hugged me!" It was so cute!
