Catching up with playgroup

I feel so incredibly blessed to be living in a place where we meet for playgroup at a location like this. The stream is so beautiful. R and I both took nice shots for the Durham Fair.

We have been very busy nurturing our friendships with individuals lately, and are happy to be doing so, but it was nice to have six of our eight playgroup families together again. It has been many months since we last got together. I'm glad that taking the time to nurture those individual relationships has really helped enable E to play more inclusively with everyone and not just his "best" friends.

Maybe it was just that they haven't all been together in a long time, or maybe they all just matured a little, but they really all did play wonderfully together. Maybe it was the water.

It was definitely a big motor skills kind of day with all of them splashing around in the stream, and running throughout the playground. The breeze in the park was beautiful, it was not too humid. I read a friend's tarot cards and saw only good things for the next few months. Life was exhilarating today.

The boys started today in our new pool in their pajamas, and finished it off in the pool when they got home from playgroup. B commented that they play really well together in the water. Water does that.
