In addition to being my personal babysitting angel, my neighbor is also part of the system as she is hosting foster kids.  One of the things they suggest foster parents do to help the kids is to take pictures of them and make a small album.  Whenever Heather has some new kids I go over and make sure some pictures are taken of them.  Mostly because it isn't known really if the kids will ever have a professional picture taken of them.  They aren't in the system because their parents have lots of money to do things like that. 

This is Xyla's friend Aroura.  For the last little while Xyla has been very excited to have a new friend next door.  These kids were very loving but Xyla was having a hard time with sharing the affections of her mommy.  I don't know why she has become so clingy lately.  She was clingy even around her family this weekend.  Most kids hit this phase long before now.

It didn't stop her from coloring though.
