The Boy and Girl Next Door

I love our housing complex, not least of all, because there are tons of kids here. You have 2 little buddies that live right next door to you!

Here's you with the girl next door. She's just 1.5 months younger than you and just as big and tall as you (prob cause her dad is almost 7' tall)! You have a huge crush on her.


And here's you playing with our other neighbor who's almost 2. He's the sweetest, most generous little guy. When he's inside his house he'll spot you outside and shout "Baby!" at his mom and make her take him outside to see you. On this day, he made his mom get his box of Thomas trains out to share with you.


I feel kind of bad because he's usually sick with some kind of germ so I don't really like you playing with him. I know you need to get sick to build up your immune system, but it's just so miserable watching you sniffle and hack.

Other moms...how do you balance the need to socialize with the need to keep your baby from getting sick?

I've heard it's worse dealing with a sick toddler than a sick baby. Does that motivate you? ;)

ha ha, that is convincing. why is a sick toddler so hard? just cuz they can cry louder and longer?
