I cannot in any way shape or form having said I liked my friends' visits to be planned (when I was a kid, most friends were within two blocks and definitely "called" by knocking on the door and asking if we could come out to play. I remember doing dishes after supper when I was about 7, with a backyard full of kids waiting for me to come out and play... those were the days!)... but I totally loved how he put it. "Those kids were really enthusiastic. I'm not sure if they are my type". hehe. How old is he? 53? Cute pics of both the kids. hehe, well, Noah is very articulate about his taste in friends.

When I was a kid we had kids on either side of us and more down the street. I'm not sure at what age it was okay for us to just head next door after school - maybe older than 8? But I know Liam's not likely to have that. Not unless we move somewhere with kids, a newer suburb, further out in the sticks, I guess. Maybe my experience growing up was not standard anyway? But it was definitely something I miss for Liam. Although it may actually suit Noah well, I am sad that friends need to be via organised play dates these days.

You warned me. Aaron warned me. I wish so hard that there were not stories like this. Make that "truths" like this. Stories implies that there is a fictional element. It was easy to leave a supportive message though. That was definitly not an easy read.
