summer love

we are so lucky

our apartment has a park right behind it

we can see it right outside our windows

i can even face the baby monitor toward the window

and leave hazel asleep inside while noah plays at the playground

and i soak up some sun

the sun makes me so happy

and it's so nice that noah can finally be outside

michael even studies outside at a picnic table under a tree

while noah plays sometimes

so today noah and i were outside

and there was a cute girl riding her bike past us

back and forth and back and forth

noah loves to talk to everyone

he's a lot like my dad

so everytime this girl rode past noah would say

"hi"

"bye"

"see you"

and then even blow a kiss

he was totally in to her

she's probably like 9 or 10

a much older girl

her name is allison

she eventually got off her bike and came in to the playground to play near noah

he liked that but what he really liked her for was her bike riding skills

so he insisted i grabbed his retro style radio flyer trike

that he rarely rides

it's tough work riding his trike

but with a little encouragement from allison

he actually rode his trike

i seriously have never seen him ride so much

or so well

the tragedy came when she said, "well see you tomorrow maybe?"

and rode away into the night

he was heart broken

he threw his trike down a hill

and cried

his first broken heart

i'm just glad i was there for support

we came inside and drank some water and read books

i hope we'll always be so close
