BFFs....

Lawson has had many opportunites to play with kids his own age. We have playdates fairly often, but it's always been MY friends who have kids his age.  Usually the kids hit it off and much fun ensues for the kids and my friends and me. 

However, tonight, Lawson and I went on a playdate with his very best buddy from daycare, Mikey.  At school, the boys are inseparable and Lawson talks about Mikey all the time at home.  Their teachers say they're constantly looking out for one another and most days when I pick Lawson up, he and Mikey are over in a corner by themselves, having a ball.  Mikey's mom and I don't usually have a lot of time to talk at pickup time, but we seemed to hit it off and decided to plan a playdate.

Um...yeah.  It was a hit!  It was so cool to watch Lawson and Mikey fall into their routine and have the moms feel each other out and get to know one another...since it's usually the other way around.  Jen and I had a blast watching our boys do their thing.  She and I got along great and are ready to plan another one of these.  It was a late night, but totally worth it!

Home With Mom...

The summer is flying by!  Shortly after our road trip, I left Lawson for the first time and went to New York to be in a friend's wedding.  Since I returned, Lawson and I have just been enjoying a simple life at home together.  The schedule is about to get nuts again, but for now, we're just hanging out...and it's grand.

This morning, we made Rice Krispy Treats for the first time.  Lawson's such a big helper!

Later today, I was going through some old boxes of stuff trying to find fun things to put in my classroom for next year.  Lawson really enjoyed the Mardi Gras beads and the novelty hat my friends Tony and Amanda brought back from Scotland.  I left them out on my bed and this is what Lawson did to himself...honest!

Just a day in the life...  :-)
