A rainy Saturday with friends

March 18, 2010 at 10:37 pm

On Saturday morning, Sylvie and Julia (almost 1!) had a play date. They showed off their crawling skills for each other while we moms chatted about our dwindling patience with cloth diapers and our frustration with the still-too-expensive real-estate market. A brief nap in the car later, and we reconvened with the families from our Natural Childbirth class (a year ago at this point!) at Julie, Dave, and Gabe’s house. We shared a sushi bonanza and compared developmental notes while the babies descended on Gabe’s toys like little vultures. Luckily, he was a very gracious host. It was a lovely day. And to think, we met all of these parents before the babes had even made their way into the world! Kids are even better than puppies at facilitating new friendships!

Oh, and Miss Sylvie managed to give herself her first shiner while showing off her pulling-up skills at Gabe’s. Crazy kid.
