The other night we had a beautiful picnic at Lowman Beach for Auntie Bean's birthday. We hadn't even found a spot to settle down at when Dylan had already met a new friend, Luke. Dylan was torn between eating and playing with Luke, who happened to be 3 as well. Dylan tried to invite Luke to eat with us (that's my girl) but he wasn't hungry - just wanted to play. So she decided to do both and the same time. The kiddo's played chase and kick ball for a few, then D would run to the blanket and suck down some noodles then jump up and run after Luke some more. At one point D came running over to us as Luke was standing by himself crying his eye out. We asked Dylan what happened and she said "Oh, I left him.". And then we heard Luke say really loud to his mom - "She left me!". Breaking hearts already at such a young age. But soon all was forgotten and the chase was back on. Luke then started tackling Dylan and took her down a little abruptly. D wasn't hurt but the look on her face was one of shock (see, she's usually the one taking the boys down) so we all laughed it off and I yelled "steam roller!" which changed everything! The kiddos had a blast and Matt and I got to spend some time with Auntie Beans. Later we all went home to a delicious chocolate cake that D and her sitter, Olivia picked out - it even said "Happy Birthday Auntie Beans".
