Just the beginning...

I know that it is inevitable...that Case is growing up...but today's events made me realize that we are going to experience many days like today!!

It was a great day, Case and his friend Rhys spent the day together playing tractors and Thomas the train, running around the house playing hide and seek, eating the same things for lunch and most of all just enjoying each others company. The boys haven't seen each other all summer, so today was good for both of them. They are six weeks apart, Rhys the younger and they have pretty much been around each other since they were a few months old.

Surprisingly to me we did not have one fight over a toy, or anything of that nature...they just sat in floor playing and hanging out in one of Case's favorite spots...the playroom!! They conversed about all sorts of things while they played and their imagination was seen in all sorts of scenarios...from playing "pow" with a plastic screwdriver and a hammer (it is amazing that boys will be boys and find anything to play "pow" with) to reading books to each other in the floor. It really was great to watch...

So, today's events just have me pondering this afternoon...that this will be the norm before long...Case will have friends over to play , spend the night, and some that will go and do all sorts of things together with us.

Through the years Case will have a few that friends that he will experience great memories with and cherish them and the memories they make for a lifetime...you know those friends that you call your "best friends"

Today I think I witnessed the beginning of one of those friendships...with Rhys.
