A friend and a location
Today we met a newer friend at a children's museum near us to play.
Theo has briefly met him before this (I went to school with his mom), but she, like I, wants to form some reliable friendships. They are about 6 months apart.
The boys were both a little shy, but as time went on they quickly began to warm up to one another. The boys would play with each other, then separate for a bit and then find their ways back together.
Usually the children Theo plays with tend to be a little older than him (not by choice but by coincidence), so it was cool to see him be the “big boy” this time!
