I'll take a play date with a side of socializing

Want to know a little well kept secret about me?  I am a wall flower.  Unfortunately, the older I get the worse it gets.  I don't want my issues to rub off on LB so I figured the time has come for me to crawl out of my shell and work on making new friendships for the both of us.  In steps Amanda, Trinity and Faith. 

These are not new friends but friends we now have more in common with.....BABIES!  Their first, Trinity, was born the same day LB was conceived, May 15th, and their second, Faith was born last Fall.  That puts LB somewhere in the middle of two adorable girls.  Not a bad place to find yourself, huh! 

I am horribly late in posting these photos given this all took place in MARCH!   But better late then never. 

Our 2nd official play date took place at the Reid Park Zoo on St. Patty's day.  The weather was gorgeous.  Amanda and I quickly learned though that apparently Wednesday's are play dates at the zoo because the place was mobbed with moms like us. 

Here is Trin checking out the peacocks. 
LB is checking something else out.... 
The look on their faces is saying....
"Seriously! How many pictures are you going to take of us looking at the peacocks?"
Now LB is checking out the wild toes on Trin's foot...
Miss Faith along for the ride....
And of course....the LONG, LONG nap that becomes the best part of the day!

For the third play date, Amanda invited us to an event that was put on by SANDS (Southern Az Network for Down Syndrome) at Old Pueblo Gymnastics.  Old Pueblo Gymnastics opened up their facility for the SANDS family one evening to let the kids run around and have fun.  I thought it would be a great time for LB to tumble around and just play, play, play! 

However, much to my dismay these were the three things he played with most....
With some help from Trin, LB slowly warmed up. 
I love this picture of Trin.  She just looks so proud of herself!

This posting is not much but at least you get to see some more photos of LB along with his friends. 

Lots of Love-SL
