The car ride was quiet at first. They just didn't seem quite sure of what to make of each other. We rode in silence until a song they both liked came on the iPod. Finding that they were both quietly singing along seemed to break the ice a little bit.
Once we got to the store, Lenore showed Tempest where she normally hangs out.
It's just a little corner with an inbox that Lenore seems to find comfy. Where Lenore is self entertaining, I think Tempest was a little bored.
I was too busy working to help them find things to do, but it worked out. They ended up talking a lot, mostly about Lenore's laptop and things she did for fun online.
Tempest hasn't asked for one, but I can tell she covets Lenore's laptop greatly. Don't tell her, but there's one on order for her. I'm sure Lenore won't mind helping her set it up, since that'll mean she can type without anyone looking over her shoulder.
I'm glad they're getting along. Easter is coming soon and I think that might be a good opportunity for an event for the two of them. I'm woefully unprepared (I didn't think Tempest would arrive for another month!) but if I can come up with some plastic eggs and a couple chocolate bunnies, the girls might just have a fun Easter together. I'll let you know how it goes!
