David and Franklin

David doesn’t normally play with other kids very often. He doesn’t
dislike them or anything. I just think he’s not used to it since he was
at home so much of his life. Or so I’ve been telling myself. That
coupled with his speech delay had me a bit worried. But if I had any
worries that he liked other kids, that worry was put to bed this past
weekend when we went to San Diego.



When my friend Nicole and her 3.5 year old, Franklin, met us at the
mall, I had no idea Franklin and David were going to hit it off this
well. The ran around and played for hours. They climbed trees, they
chased each other, they tickled each other, they danced together, and
they even hugged! It was the most amazing thing to watch and brought
tears to my eyes.

I loved seeing David have such a good friend and laughing out loud with
him. Such a pity they don’t live closer to us.
