Our Busy Socialites

The kids will often bump into their classmates while we are out shopping or dining. We first noticed that in our previous neighborhood and we see it more now. It is mostly Dominic's classmates from kindergarten or his day care that we bump into. We saw one at the park on Saturday and at Costco on Sunday. The kids are always excited to see one another while we get to meet their parents (usually). Jocelyn's friends are smaller and if we do not recognize their parents, no connection is made.

On Saturday I took the kids to the park. Jocelyn wanted to go on the swings, so I obediently set her in her seat and began to push. Dominic walked around for a bit, climbing the playset and sliding down the slide. At one point, he started to play with another girl. For some reason, he let out a monstrous dinosaur roar, "Roooooaaaar!" She immediately ran off... (I don't think she was crying, but she did run away awefully fast.) But the funny thing was, as soon as Dominic let out his 'roar', another little girl yelled out, "Dominic?!?" She was playing on the other side of the playset, but she must have heard him roar and recognized it!!!

I had a good laugh at that. It turns out that the little girl also goes to his school, but is in the other class. Her mom was there, but she spent the entire time on her cell phone so I never was able to say hello.
