Stuart was working on January 2nd, so I took the boys to meet up with Rohan and Vrinda at the Oak Meadow Park in the morning.  The boys were excited to see each other, and they immediately started running around the structures with their swords.  Connor played very well with the big boys; he totally looks like part of the gang now.  Logan and Rohan were nice to him too; they often would go get him if he fell behind or if he was in a different part of the structure.  It was fun watching them play.  Once Rohan was sad with something, he went to the boys to explain.  The boys chatted among themselves, pointed and looked over to us at times and back to chatting.  A minute later they started running and all smiling again.  Nice to see that they were able to resolve the problem and make each other happy.

     We switched gears to ride their bikes.  Connor hopped on quickly and started paddling.  By the time I helped Logan, Connor already had a head start following Rohan.  Logan was still hesitant to go fast, so I felt the need to be near him in case he needed a gentle push.  But I was worried how fast Connor was going and if he would stay on track.  Apparently Logan felt the same way, he told me “Mommy, go follow Connor, I will catch up”.  However I ended up staying with Logan as he needed occasional shoves and Connor appeared doing well following Rohan.  We did two rounds around the field and Logan was done.  Connor did an excellent job riding.  He initially wanted to continue but decided to stop too so he could play with the big boys again. 

     After two hours at the park, we went to grab a quick lunch together.  The three boys were happy to sit together.  They played while they ate the sandwiches and they shared a big cookie afterward.

    In the afternoon, I took the boys to the library to get more books.  They played at the playground next to it afterward.  They ran around a lot again.  By dinnertime, Logan told us that he was so tired that he could go straight to bed.  Later he asked for only two books instead of three for bedtime reading.
