{life with a curious and crazy 11 yr old}
Here’s to new friends! Especially at a time when it is particularly hard to meet new people and to have the space to get to know them. But children are brilliant at that, anyway – no expectations, no messy introductions, they just sort of jump in and figure out whether or not it’s a decent match. Seems like a lesson that adults are likely to continue to ignore but I find it inspiring. So, Duende met another little gal at the Farmer’s Market (her family are local meat farmers; beef, chicken, lamb) and they seem to hit it off – D has an extra pair of skates (the next size, from the Swap Shack!) so they were both able to skate at the park. Supercute (and look how dramatic the sky was yesterday)!
