The Wingmen in Action

When Karl was just a few months old I was introduced to a woman who was planning a homebirth with the midwives we used. We had a friend in common and she ended up joining the book club I was starting. When Karl turned 6 months old her little guy was born. Since his birth, we have had numerous play dates and his mom, Melinda, is kind enough to watch Karl while I am off at a doula meeting or birth.

Here are the boys wandering around the various playgrounds in my neighborhood.

I suggested they could hold each others hands instead of holding mine and off they ran to the playground. Isn't it sweet?

I know Karl is a bit too young to value his friendship, but I am so happy to have Melinda and her family in my life. Without her support and frequent visits I am certain I would be a much more boring woman. Plus...she got me hooked on historical romance novels. If that doesn't equate friendship, I don't know what does!

I hope as they get older they continue to be friends and come to count on each other.
