Friends

My kids love to play with other children. They would put Paris Hilton to shame on the social scene if you didn't consider high society to be a factor in comparison. If there is an opportunity to get together with friends, Harrison and Brooks will jump on it and they will do it all day, everyday. In the past week we have had some exciting times with friends both old and new. First, our best friends, Noah, Brayden and Bransen came from Palm Coast to visit our new house and have lunch with us at Chuck E. Cheese. We also met some new friends, Samantha and Allie, who live across the street from us. And yesterday, Brooks had her very own playdate with her best bud from Palm Coast, Garrett.

I know that Harrison and Brooks are going to enjoy it here because they seem to be making new friends every time we step out of the house. There is certainly nothing like our old buddies from Palm Coast who we miss dearly but I am glad to see my kids meeting new people like it is second nature. If anything, I might need to be concerned that they are so uninhibited by almost any social scenario. Harrison has been in gymnastics for 3 weeks and took to it like a fish in water. He also made a friend there who will be joining us for a playdate this Friday.

Harrison has met and become friends with several kids in the last month. Maybe it's because he feels like a high five is in order any time he plays with a boy or girl for more than 5 minutes, and if they don"t high five him back...he'll just keep asking. His persistence is unwavering which may be how he has collected so many buddies. But I know one thing, this guy loves making new friends. And Brooks isn't afraid to get out there and meet other kids either. She has had to compete with Harrison on almost everything so this girl can hold her own with kids younger and older than her. Actually, she can almost hold her own a little too well. But I can see that she is becoming a people person just like her brother and it makes me happy to see the both of them having such a great time!
