We have made some new friends. Their kid is the same age as Lewis – literally 2 days younger. 

In addition to them being extremely fun in their own right, their son is adorable and sweet.

We had them over tonight for tamales and margaritas. The boys played and were nuts, and I could not get enough.

The thing that struck me the most was how their child was so much more exuberant and unafraid than Lewis. And through their interactions I watched Lewis become more brave. It is a special thing to watch your child blossom, and I am hyper-aware of how Lewis is influenced by everything he sees. But there is something especially wonderful about watching him with a peer and learning from other children. 

He dared to try new things today, and I am so proud.
