A Special Day

Today was a super special day for Dakota. Caidyn, his first friend, since the minute he was born (well, more like about an hour after he was born!), came to visit from Asheville. He was so very excited! He hasn't seen her since October, and didn't really get a chance to play with her then. So it's pretty much been since last summer since they actually got to play! It's amazing how much they've grown in these almost 4 years...love listening to their little conversations and seeing them hold hands in the car (Dakota says she's his girlfriend, but Caidyn denies it!). Liz and I took them to the park and they had a blast feeding the (yucky!) ducks and riding the paddle boats. Then we went out for some Japanese (Dakota loved watching the chef do all kinds of cool things while making the food and he was really good at using the chopsticks!). Afterwards, Ms. Kristen from their old school, treated them to some Baskin Robbins. What a fun day for them!
