Play Date at the Park

 

On Friday Lucy and I ventured across town for a park play date.

 

Although I see these moms every week during our Mother's Heart Bible study, I very seldom see their kids!

 

So it was fun to put faces with names.  I didn't want to be that girl, forcing everybody to face the camera... so all of my shots were candid. 

 

Err... most of my shots.

 

The weather was absolutely gorgeous.  I had worried when it was in the 40s that morning, but by the afternoon it was just perfect.

 

I was only given a small amount of grief for not having socks on Lucy's feet.

 

I feel really guilty when people point out that Lucy should have socks on.  Or a hat.  Or a coat.  Like if I were a better mom, I'd have thought about that.  Part of it is my own hypersensitivity.  But it's a vulnerable place to be in life, figuring out how to be a mom and having others chime in with their observations.  

 

My feet are always cold.  So I guess it doesn't seem like that big of a deal to me.  She had a coat on.  Just no socks.  She survived.

There was so much activity at this park!  It made me sort of intimidated about Lucy getting older. 

The two of us are just in our own little world most of the time, and thinking about her getting older and interacting with dozens of other little kids is sort of overwhelming.

I'm glad that--like everything else in life--it's just one day at a time.   

One day at a time.
