365 days of thankfulness ~ 001

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.

Just like that, the year is ending. Just like that, 2012 is coming. Both kids will be in school, their new school and they are pretty darn excited. Good for us. Hopefully, the transition will be much easier as compared to when J first started out in pre-N.

So, we’d see you again in 2012… Till then, cheers!

We’ve been somewhat busy and all over about town. We finally settled down to seriously celebrate Christmas. Here’s wishing one and all a very Blessed Christmas.

(Hopefully, more regular updates will follow soon. Else, you can just hop over to flickr!)
