Playmates

We try to get together with friends as much as possible, both for Collins's sake and for mine. But up until recently, it's all been parallel play for the kids where they play close to each other but not with each other.

For this reason, it has surprised me lately when Collins has actually interacted with her friends and acknowledged their presence as a playmate. We were so excited this week when Collins grabbed Olivia's hand and they started going down the slide together. Once she did that, they did not want to let go! So cute...
