Simon's friend

Today our friend's Erica and her son Stirling came over while Reed was at home school co-op. Stirling and Simon are the same age and have become quick friends over the last couple of months. It has been so much fun seeing Simon develop from parallel play to actually playing with someone. Erica and I have enjoyed eavesdropping on their conversations that seem to be real and about things that they both care about. They even listen to each other seem to value the other's opinion Today the two of them decided they needed to go up to Simon's room and listen to music on the cd playing. So we found them with the music blasting and hanging out in the cave under Reed's bed.

Reed: "Well what time?"
