It has been a long time since I posted, but more on that later. I want to make this first post back about the beautiful baby boys that have recently arrived to our TKMamas group. Mamas J and N are doing superb jobs caring for their newborn and toddler sons. I think we have all enjoyed the recent photos of Masters A and R posing with their little brothers. And aren't we lucky to have "mama of two" expert Mama LS for good advice and understanding?!
We now count ten boys with my Miss L still holding the spot of the only girl in the group! Miss L has been repeating "boy, boy, boy" around the house and Mister T is hoping she is not already boy crazy. I just think she is remembering all of her friends from playgroup.
About a month ago the Times wedding section had a wonderful story about a bride and groom who first met as infants in their neighborhood playgroup. Don't worry, I'm not trying to marry off Miss L before she turns two. What I love about this story is that even though the groom's family moved away when they were just toddlers, every year they returned to visit and reconnect with their playgroup friends so the bride and groom had this sense of growing up together over shared summer vacations.
I can only hope that Miss L and I will see all of you every year! I loved the end of the story when the two moms walked down the aisle together in the wedding procession. You could feel their connectedness after all those years and miles between them.
I love this post and story. Mainly though I am relieved that you did not MAKE the cupcakes pictured. I almost had a heart attack thinking you were baking and decorating like a professional along with the reading and knitting not to mention housing 2 hefty babies in your womb and running after your toddler. Enough procrastinating, I am off to figure out what to do with my Halibut and spinach.
ReplyDeleteThat's such a lovely story! Are there really that many boys in our group now? And more coming...Crazy. They'll all be fighting over Miss L and Miss twin.
