I brought Tristan to his friend Bryan’s place Friday, and they played happily for several hours. Tristan drank all of their milk when he got very fussy, so we owe them a drink. I spent a while chatting with Helena about the ups and downs of life while our babies happily walked and played and ate everything they could.

Thursday we stopped by the old apartment’s playgroup and had a wonderful time. Tristan even let Helena put him in Bryan’s stroller while I carried Bryan in the Ergo. Unfortunately, we had to leave quickly to make it home by noon for folks to show up to do some work.

I enjoy being able to leave babies to be entertained by each other and spend some time chatting with an adult or several. I’m grateful that we’ve still had these opportunities and hope we continue to.
