This is going to seem silly.
But I'm here in the kitchen, feeding Jonathan dinner...and Benjamin is playing next door at the neighbors' house. We were over there earlier, all 3 of us, and I chatted for a while with Dawn while the boys played. But it was time to come home with J and so Benjamin was invited to stay to play...ridiculous, but I'm all misty over here just knowing that my little boy isn't in sight, or really even in view of a parental unit...just "playing" with the kids. I told Sarah (6yrs old) to walk him home when it was time for her dinner.
I can hear them playing out our kitchen window and it reminds me of summer nights when I was a kid...
What a silly thing to call a milestone, but here I am anyway.
Plus, the laptop's crazy convenient to J's highchair.:)

I totally know what you mean about it "sounding like" summer nights when you were a kid! That's exactly the kind of childhood I want for my kids - playing outside until it's dark all summer long. Glad your little B had his first taste of it. Hang in there until Brian gets home. Library on Wednesday?
That is FOR SURE a milestone...I'll never forget last year, when the girls across the street asked Lucy if "she could come out and play" with them. She played across the street and I just casually stood on our lawn to watch her. ha ha...she didn't catch on!
