When I looked back in my pictures to find this shot of one of the first get-togethers, I noticed how bald our babes were back then, and how sitting up was the big skill. They were so easy to entertain back then, and we didn't even realize it!
The next shot is AJ checking out how sand falls out of his hand (and onto his overalls). He was also very interested in piling on as much sand as possible onto the toy du jour (I think it is a Thomas the Train?). I really have had to work on my compulsion to keep AJ clean this summer as he LOVES to get SANDY. I am not a fan of the sandbox, but it makes him so happy to play there and I do think he's learning a lot by exploring the properties of the stuff.
Luckily we like a bunch of other nearby parks that DON'T have sandboxes, so we do have choices for when I'm not feeling super-patient.
AJ also spent some time running around under the trees with his friends. Here is a cute picture of him with his friend Aliza. They were imitating each other reaching up and clapping above their heads. It was precious!
As all these kids grow and develop, I'm constantly reminded how lucky we moms are to know each other and have such great children. What a blessing it is that all of them can grow up together, never remembering a time when they were not friends. (cue Hallmark commercial)
