Friends

It's hard to imagine that less than a year ago Jack's best friends didn't speak english. It was never an issue because he didn't know any better. I always wondered at what age speaking the same language is a must in order to be friends. It seems that language is a bigger part of play now for Jack. Him and his friends are always making up stories and setting rules for games. It makes me wonder what would be different if we were still in Switzerland and he had to play with his friends without speaking the same language.

Jack had his first sleepover at our house. One of his best buddies lives in the apartment right above us so it was a good chance to try a sleepover. The boys had a blast and we set up a tent in the living room for them and they even wanted to share a sleeping bag together. Getting them to sleep was a chore as they kept coming in and asking for things (water, animal to sleep with, need to go to the bathroom, etc). But finally, somewhere near midnight both boys were out. The next morning Jack was up normal time (this boy rarely sleeps in) and he and Lily tried their best not to wake up the sleeping prince...
