Friendship

I've been part of a fantastic mother's group that's been meeting together weekly since our children were all around 6 weeks old, so the kids have been growing up together for the most part of their young lives.



It's so beautiful to watch their interaction at the age they are at now. They are all so incredibly comfortable and familiar with each other. In the midst of stealing each other's toys or trying to get down the slide before someone else, there are genuine moments that melt your heart - the times when you see them hugging or kissing each other just for no reason; when they sit together on a chair and just casually lean on each other; when they walk up and say "hello" to the children as they arrive; when they actually offer their toy to someone else because they are sad - these are the makings of a friend.

Here's a few candid shots taken recently.
