I really liked the comfort of the hospital but I need to expand my repertoire of places to go.  Scott and I (and mom too) ventured out to attend our first birthday party today.  This was something we had planned on attending even before Maddox was born so it was important to us to go.  For me, it was a way to test out life again. 

While I was extremely anxious and had a meltdown prior to the party, I learned something very valuable today.  

Friendships between young children are priceless.  

There is no jealously, animosity, or judgements being made.  Nobody snubs anyone or waits for so and so to talk first.  It doesn’t matter how you look, if you are thin, wear glasses, or even missing a limb.  There is no drama, just an innocently pure friendship.  

I think adults could learn a lot from watching young children make friends.  

Thank you Callie, Emerson, Amaya, and Grady for teaching me this and for loving Maddox for who she is.

Happy Birthday Amaya!
