Wednesday I was invited to a hair bow party with a bunch of friends who have daughters. We each made eight bows, then traded them for eight darling new ones. We met at the park, and Charlotte played on the slide all by herself for quite awhile. She can climb the stairs, sit at the top of the slide, push off and slide down, then smile and clap for herself at the bottom. Isaiah taught a few of his followers to jump on the picnic tables and run halfway across the park. He also climbed on the rope webs and guarded his bucket of crayons that he insisted on bringing.
