Since our twins started school a few weeks ago the list of their new best friends keeps growing, much to my delight.  Who could not like my kids?  They are hilarious, fun, smart and cool.  It is the total package.  And before you think I am one of those parents, let me assure you that I have not met a child yet that I did not feel was worth more than their weight in gold, I am that parent.  

They have had play dates before.  But they were the children of MY friends.  Today my son had one of his new friends over to play.  There were sword fights.  One was Batman and the other was Ironman.  There was soccer and the swing set and a lot of running and giggling and yelling.  It was a very good day for my son.  My daughter, on the other hand felt a little left out.  While the boys were engaged in their sword play I heard her announce to them that they could both be her heroes.  They did not acknowledge the apparent compliment.

Note to self: Next time schedule a play date for each of the children at the same time.
