This new year, I’m trying a new pet project. 365 days of thanksgiving; one item a day. One whole year through. I never quite made it through with my photo-a-day series last year so let’s see how far along I’d get with this. At the end of it all, I figure, this will make a painless yet awesome photobook no? (yes yes, me and my infatuation with photobooks!)

Today, I’m thankful for playdates. We were invited by WM to her place for a chill out playdate. It didn’t start out smooth, with a fair bit of chaos but it settled down nicely in the end. The ball pen was THE place where friendships were made. The 3 older kids suddenly bonded over the plastic balls and finally, could play together.

Playdates are always fun. Watching the kids warm up, easing into a state of comfortable interaction. It’s also when you see the differences in age groups. The younger tods were terrorised by these two. Tsktsk. Still, all in, a lovely afternoon. Perfect occasion to go trigger happy and ogle at babies.

And yes, thank you, two are enough.
