Tesla has big friends

Cathi, my high school friend, came up from San Diego for her sister, Patty's birthday. Cathi and Patty are a year apart. Their older daughters are days apart. Cathi has a younger daughter, and Patty has a younger son (his name is Genki, which I just love).

Anyway, they all came over to play the other day. I love how these days, hanging out with friends usually means with kids and chaos. We chatted, catching up with each other all the while our kids were running around playing. It doesn't throw me off anymore.

Tesla goes to the park, sees her cousins, and loves seeing her neighbor friend Sofia. But being around a group of kids is still pretty new to her. I can tell she is mesmerized by older kids. She adores watching them even though she can't really participate. I love watching her interact. A few times, she got pushed over by the older girls; she just got right up and continued!
