the park

Today I took the kids to the park for a playdate with their buddies, Asher & Andrew. Ryan had a great time running all around and hanging with Asher. He and Asher are so cute together, Asher is one of just a handful of kids that I feel like Ryan actually plays with. At his age, he still follows other kids or is content to do his own thing next to them. But he and Asher always seem to have a good time together. And they are on a very similar level developmentally, so that's really fun. They push each other just enough to try new things, but not so much so that one gets left behind.

While we there, Abby sat in a swing for the first time! I didn't actually swing her or anything too crazy, just let her get used to the idea. She did really well and seemed to like sitting in it. Hard to believe she's getting so big!
