Parks and Princess'

Have I mentioned on here that anytime we asked Max what he was getting for Christmas, or shoot, anytime we ask him WHAT he got for Christmas, he replies "princess scooter."  Of course, there was no princess scooter for him, but apparently he REALLLLLLY wanted it.

Fast forward to Tuesday.

We had a playdate at the park with a friend of mine that is visiting town for Christmas.  And guess what my friends family had at the park?....

Behold....

Lo the Heavens opened and a chorus of Angels did Sing!

And the singing angels and Princess faces did please the child.

And he was off like a shot.  He scootered and played and scootered some more all afternoon.  It was fabulous.

In the meantime I got to visit with my friend Joyce and do a little catching up.  It was so nice to see her and her little boy, who happens to be one month younger than Max.

We didn't get to sing any showtunes, but we managed to get a couple of pictures, though James was NOT having anything to do with it.

Oh "there you are, there you are, how disten..."  Sorry, just a little flashback to the show that brought us together many years ago.  We met in a Broadway performance class and did the show "The Mystery of Edwin Drood" together.  Basically our life and friendship revolves around showtunes and bad New Yawk accenting.  We so rule!

It may appear that we're laughing at James' tantrum or something, but of course we are NOT.  Ok fine, maybe we are.

Ah kids....gotta love 'em.

Anywhodle, it was a lovely afternoon spent in perfection weather, with good friends and good conversation.  Oh, and of course there was that PRINCESS SCOOTER!

Laaaaaaaa

Princess' and Playdates,

P.S.  BIG news...Max went the big "deuce" ON the toilet tonight.  It was AWESOME!  I'm so proud of him.  We might be ready to do this thing.
