Big day for Robert!

Today was my friend Rabecca's birthday (happy birthday!), so we went to lunch with her and Paula and their children. Rabecca's son, Donny, is the same age as Robert. Paula's son, Nathaniel, is 3 months older than Robert and Donnie, and her son, Isaac, is the same age as Alessa.

We had Mexican for lunch and then went to the playground for a while to let the boys run off their excess energy. Nathaniel and Isaac fell asleep on the way so Paula took them home.

Robert had a big day! He's always been a bit timid on the playground. He loves the slides but would only go on the smaller ones and needed one of us to hold his hand. Today he went down the slide for the first time completely on his own! He not only went down the small slide on his own, he also went down the big ones too! I'm so proud of him. I love that he's getting more adventurous and feeling more confident in himself lately.

I really wish I remembered to bring my camera today. I'll have to make a point to bring it next time! Here are a few random pics from after we got home just because:
