Sweethearts

It's a good thing they like each other.

Between the set-up time and the three days of our garage sale, AJ and the girl he says he's going to marry when he grows up, have spent a lot of time together.

And when the sale was finally done, what did they want to do? Play together a little more.

And so, as exhausted as all of the adults were, we headed to dinner at Gordy's, followed by ice cream and the playground next door.

AJ and Hanna have had a special friendship ever since they met as toddlers in daycare. She started it, by giving him a kiss. Her dad repeatedly jokes about "needing to have a talk with that boy."


Interestingly (or sadly, depending on how you want to look at it), as much as they enjoy playing together, they've become aware of their gender difference. When it came time to cross the parking lot back to our car, Jeff directed all the kids to take hands. I caught the brief look of "uh oh" on Hanna's face. Hold hands with a boy??? I quickly stepped in between them, offering a hand to each. They both quickly accepted.
I guess at this age, chaperones are much appreciated.
