Isaiah the Caterpillar and "Baby Jack"

We met Griffin's favorite neighborhood friend, "baby Jack", at the park this week. Jack is a year younger than Griffin (hence the "baby Jack" name that has now stuck for over a year) but he is the same size as Griffin. Allison and I love hanging out, so we're both pretty excited that are boys are such buds.

Is there anything sweeter than your child picking a weed and saying, "here mommy, this is for you?"




Griffin's sweet friend Jack, contemplating the fun to be had in far-off pastures. :)


I always feel a little guilty when something like this happens and I end up snapping it. As if I should have been helping a falling child instead of documenting it? :) Fortunately, he was fine.


The boys were precious climbing on the fence. Thank goodness, no splinters.




The boys found a caterpillar. I suggested that they name it "Katie the Caterpillar". Griffin thought for a minute and then said, "no, Isaiah!" (Isaiah is the name of one of his favorite school friends). The boys had fun playing with Isaiah until Jack accidentally and unknowingly stepped on him. Poor guy didn't see it coming. Griffin and Jack were on to the next thing, completely oblivious. Already wondering if Griffin thinks that the next caterpillar he finds is Isaiah. :)
