Ezra's Play Date with Scott

Why is it so difficult to take the time to visit with friends? My dear friend Cindy is a school teacher and every summer we have great plans to visit....but then we're squeezing time in to our schedules as August is ending. Since she had her grandson, Scott, for the weekend we decided to have a play date. Scott is about 5 weeks older than Ezra. We're calling this the "Cot & Es-Ra Day" because that's how they say each other's name.

Cindy kept many of the toys her boys played with, including the blocks. This was a huge set of the good solid wood kind that we all remember. Scott was building towers, Ezra mostly walked on them and stuck this one in his mouth.
Riley, the uber-friendly Spaniel was a big hit with Ezra. Me I mostly kept him from giving me a bath. Tough to do when I was down on the floor with the blocks, kids, and dog.
Scott & Ezra both LOVE books. Scott had some old favorites. Neither one of them is in to sharing....yet.

Here we are off to the park!

Scott looks so much like his dad, a mini-Seth. He is so sweet and happy.

Scott LOVES to swing high, Ezra not so much...although with the peer pressure he did put his hands in the air and say "Weeeee", just like Scott.

These are the most ridiculous teeter-totters. I'm sure it's a safety thing.

Scott is learning to like the slide. This is the big slide.

Ezra & me on the cement slide. Ezra was going down alone until he figured out the friction was very hot....then he wanted to be semi-on my lap

At the end of our visit, Ezra decided he REALLY liked Scott. So being Ezra, he grabs Scott in to a tight bear hug. There's just one thing Ezra didn't figure on.....

Scott isn't in to being squeezed. So Scott, being the solid built guy, pushed back :( But they're still buddies. They just need to figure out the physical stuff :)
