Usual Monday Playdate Partners

Monday used to be the day that we went to Kindergym at Esquimalt Rec. Centre. Usually with Molly, Alex and Courtney. I'm sure when it starts raining again we will start going back - but until then we have been enjoying the sun. Almost every Monday we still get together at a park or the lake or their backyard (one of Ethan's most favourite places in the whole world).

These pictures are from the "pirate park" that is close to our house. We walk there at least 3 times per week. It is a great park and there are always lots of kids there to play with.

The boys run around like maniacs and climb on things, wrestle, jump - laughing the whole time. The babies usually sit near us on a blanket or crawl around on the grass trying to eat assorted random objects. The boys are really sweet and gentle with little Miss Molly (as seen in the pictures). It is so cute that I want to melt when they act like this...all big brother like making sure she is OK and giving little tickle, tickles.

I think that Beckett can't wait to get in on the action with the big boys. He spends much of his time watching them and trying to follow them around. Today Ethan and Alex were screaming back and forth at each other like little howler monkeys and Beckett got spooked at all the noise and started crying. He was OK once Mama picked him up - but it is funny how sweet they can be with Molly and how it kind of seems that Beckett has to make it through some rowdy boy initiations. I like to imagine that they are toughening him up to be a part of their posse.
