Travis made a new friend at his Art4Fun camp a few months ago and asked to set up a play date with him. I took him over to his friend’s home a few weeks ago and they had a wonderful time while I enjoyed chatting with his parents. We invited the family to our home for lunch today and everyone seemed to hit it off.
You can tell a lot about people by studying their children. If a kid instantly becomes fast friends with my kid there’s a good chance that kid’s parents are just as cool.
Considering the people Kelly and I are privileged to call friends, so many of them became part of our lives through the relationships first built by our kids. Some people worry that their social lives will end once they have kids. For us it has been just the opposite!
