With the warmer weather finally reaching southwestern PA, we have been able to get outside and play more. And with venturing outside, we get to spend time with our neighbors:) We are lucky to have two really great families on either side of us-one has two little ones right around the same age as Lucas and the other one has a little girl about 9. Last night we had dinner outside with the two kids-it was so much fun! They had tacos and loved eating at Lucas' little picnic table. And after dinner off they went to throw balls, play on the swing set and run around while Jenn and I sat and chatted. I love how comfortable the kids are with each other. Every time we get together, it is like they just pick up where they had left off the last time.
When I told Lucas they were coming over for dinner, he got so excited and wanted me to get home faster. He spent the 30 minutes from the time we got home until when they were supposed to come over pacing the floor, staring at the back door and whining that he wanted M and C to come over.
It is important to me that he has these times. when I was growing up we always played with our neighbors. We were lucky enough to have several families on our street. I swear we were like a gang sometimes-playing kick ball, capture the flag, swimming in our next door neighbor's pool. I hope Lucas has the same kind of experience as he gets older.
