We weren't alone

Today we ate our meals with friends. Little Brother has a new friend in our courtyard. He is also the same age as Little Brother and they can safely walk to the friend's house without having a parent even go outside. They came for Breakfast and stayed until lunchtime when a break was clearly needed.

The Becks invited us for playtime and dinner. We even left early enough for the kids to be in bed by 7pm. A time unheard of in this house recently as a bedtime. It was definitely required and a good idea with all the fussing, crying, and not napping that's been happening recently.

P.S. Little Brother made a ceiling touched so he doesn't even have to "stand on his tippy toes to touch". Later he became an "old man" with a "walking stick". Followed by Great Grandma with her can as the stick grew shorter.
