Following Mia

When Bruce and Sam and Mia come over, the boys all play together and Isabelle looks after Mia. Isabelle and Mia are becoming great friends, despite the eight year age difference. Isabelle's job is more accurately called Following Mia, although they do play with little animals in Isabelle's room. And they play with Pompey:

Isabelle is very good at playing with and watching over little girls. She seems to enjoy it, not even needing cash in return. I was just like her when I was little.

Sounds like now would be the perfect time to add a baby, doesn't it? Our house is already full of whining and messes and spills and crying. No one would even notice the addition. Plus we have three in-house babysitters; I could still be a woman of leisure with time to gad about town.
