We invited our neighbors over on Saturday for supper club, and we had 7 adults and 11 kids in the house. Total chaos but a lot of fun!
We thought that that would be the extent of socializing but then Anafi wanted to play with Gustav so we arranged to meet at the splash pad with the Combs. The kids played with each other and the other kids in the park until it got dark. Perfect end of summer night.
I am so very grateful that my children seem to be well liked, and I don't take it for granted at all so I try to encourage them to be inclusive and look for a child who may be alone or who may be a little different. I hope they grow up to be allies and speak up when they see an injustice.
