Wrong Day For A Birthday

On February 5, 2008 (Tuesday)...we were supposed to go to go to a church friend's sons birthday. His name is Dylan also. Unfortunately, the Mom changed it to Friday the day before and Nancy had not informed me of the change. So that day I got the kids ready and headed out to Culver City to a park that the birthday was supposed to be at. It took me awhile with traffic and I ended up 30 minutes late. I arrived at the park around 11:30am and found NOBODY that I knew around anywhere. I was a bit concerned. First of all, my instincts told me that I came on the wrong day, but I was hoping maybe...just maybe that they might have moved the party to another site. I started looking around with the kids and saw many other parents or nannies with kids playing around for the day. I got that horrible feeling that I showed up to the party on the wrong day. I then called Nancy to confirm that the day was right. She was absolutely sure that the day was right. She opened the e-vite to make sure the day was right. After opening the e-vite she then then started saying that she would take us out to dinner wherever we wanted. It turns out that the night before...our friend Sora decided to change the birthday date due to fact of possible cold weather. The funny thing is the day was absolutely beautiful. The weather was sunny and was quite decently warm. After figuring out that the birthday date had changed I was about to take off back home, but decided to take advantage of the day at the park and let the boys play. It was good call. They enjoyed the time together and the time at the park.One of the things that I enjoy watching is the interaction between Dylan and Justin as they grow older. There is a pure joy between the two of of them interacting. I hope that as they get older that continue to enjoy playing with each other.

Justin is constantly getting better at taking care of his brother as he gets older. Here he is pushing his brother on the swings. The best part of it all that Dylan actually enjoys his brother's company. I can actually walk away as long as his brother is around Dylan. Dylan is okay to be away from me in general as long as Justin is around. They definitely do have some sort of bond between them. Just as much Justin is always watching out for Dylan's interest...Dylan really enjoys his Justin's presence. Here is Justin and Dylan enjoying the see-saw together. It is really cool how they communicate in their own language and their own wavelength. Here they are crossing a bridge together and spending time together. I only hope that they will continue to have a good relationship as time goes by. Three years does not seem like a lot of years apart, but in the early years it makes a huge difference. Just at 4 years old is all about building...Dylan at 1 years old is all about destroying. As the years go by the gap will become less and less significant. I really hope and pray that they have a solid relationship that will last them a last time.
