Today we went to the play beach with some friends.  Ethan had such a lovely time playing and interacting with them, it is great to see him with his friends as he gets so excited to see them.  It's a big part of his Personal, Social and Emotional Development that he's building relationships with children his own age.  Especially after the incident with the older children at the playground last week, I think that it was good for me to see that Ethan can play and interact with other children.  And Ethan is so lucky to have a group of friends that do play nicely together, of course there are always moments of taking a toy the other wants, but that is honestly as bad as it gets.  If only all children could play so nicely!
