For the past two days, Finn has been in hog heaven because he's been spending lots of time with his best friends: James, Jeremy and Ryan. On Saturday we went biking at Walnut Grove Park. Finn is still in training wheels but Ryan and James were so sweet to him during our ride. When Finn wanted to stop, they stopped. When he needed a break, they'd break. It was really touching to see how encouraging and sensitive they were to Finn's ability and needs.
Now these two (Jeremy and Seamus and Jackson, who isnt pictured) were gone within minutes of us getting to the park. This is pretty much the only picture I got of them. They have the same style of playing: competitive, fast paced, accelerated, active.
But Finn, Ryan and James were all on the same page yesterday. I loved watching them play. Boys play in such a different way than girls and I really never got to see that before I had my sons. Boys explore. They roam. They collect sticks and rocks and keep them like treasures. They find little alcoves in bushes and make them into forts. Boys take each adventure as it comes and ramble into the next. They are oblivious to time or space. Its honest to God a joy to watch.
In other news, its Sunday and you know what that means...
GO STEELERS!
Happy Sunday.
