Making Friends....

So, Hayden and I had a free day the other day so off we walked to the park. Alot of the times we meet friends at the park but today we just went ourselves. And the funniest thing happened. We were going up the stairs and down the slide when another little girl came to use the stairs. Hayden wanted to play with her but she was scared and ran away. So after a minute hayden followed her to the merry-go-round and she was scared again and went to a different toy.
So we left that and after a while we found ourselves at the teeter totter. Another little 3-yearold outgoing girl came and went on the teeter totter with Hayden and Hayden loved it. She went and sat really close to him ( it was a double) and he loved it. She moved away and then hayden moved closer to her. It was so cute. Then she ran off to play with her friend. And Hayden patted the seat and wanted someone else to come sit with him. So he saw another boy and was pointing at the boy and then the seat. I told him if he wanted to play he should go play with the boy. So we got off and played, (well best we could). But, in the past, i have seen other moms tell their kids to go play with others but i never thought i was there with Hayden yet, but sure enough, here we are!
And today at the beach another boy just came up and started playing with Hayden and he loved it. I don't know why i didn't see this coming, everywhere we go he stares at other kids so....... dumb me! But its so cute, everyday i say i love this stage more than the last, but i really love the age he is at now!

It's so true... everyone says that it just gets better and better and you love each stage more than the last! I just love this one-year-old stage, but I'm really looking forward to when Sloan can talk.
