Friends, friends, friends...

This summer, we have spent most of our days playing with friends.  It's funny how the activities you do each summer change.  Last summer, I remember spending the mornings on the backporch while Caydin played in his plastic kiddie pool.  This summer, we've been busy with seeing friends, going to gymboree, and spending time with our favorite playgroup families in the evening.  We joke that Caydin's social life is MUCH more active than ours! 
Last week we had a busy (but great!) week with friends.  Our bestests came over for a visit. The boys really have a good time together.  Gavin is just so cute, its hard to remember those early months of walking with Caydin so its fun to see Gavin. :)  All the boys headed to the window to see the garbage truck.  What is it with little boys and their LOVE for garbage trucks?!?!  
 Both Caydin and Landen love trains, cars, and books.  Landen was so cute with his storytelling and Caydin has since copied him and tells us stories as well!
 Then a few days later, Ava came over for a playdate!  Ava loves the kitchen set and wanted to pretend eat with Caydin so bad! Caydin of course would rather be playing with cars but he did a good job of playing with the kitchen for a few minutes.
 After playtime in the "toy room" (as Caydin calls it) these 2 buddies headed to Caydin's room to make a tower with the legos.  Ava showed Caydin how to clean up before getting the next thing out then they did puzzles together.  I love how I can tell/help Caydin clean up 1,000 times but it only takes once for a friend to show him how to do something and now he helps all the time!
 These 2 watched the space shuttle on TV and then read a lot of Caydin's favorite books.
Caydin really enjoys having friends over to spend time with him.  (I'm sure mommy can be pretty boring at times!)  I enjoy it too.  While they were playing, I got to SIT and look through a baby name book! Score!
