This morning we met up with Charlie’s buddies Lindsay and Tad at a neighborhood park to play. You might think that Charlie looks a little fancy for the park…I tried this on her yesterday and discovered that it fit her exactly so we needed to get some wear out of it, rain or not. It’s an adorable hand-me-down from her cousin Dali, and perfect for a warm day.

The kids splashed in the splash park and shared snacks and when it started to rain we drove to a great brunch place and enjoyed our meal while they created general havoc for the diners around us. It is so nice eating with other moms who have children the same age as Charlie…what a relief that they understand!! “It is what it is”, my friend Ms. Paige said. So true.
