Fitting in With the Guys

Yes, I know, I'm so behind. So very behind...sigh. And one of these days I'm going to hunker down with my comfy cloud pants and a big bowl of popcorn and get caught up. But in the meantime, I really wanted to record this story for memory's sake, and because I didn't get any pictures!

The other day at the gym I had to sign some papers on my way out. Before turning the corner to the lobby, not realizing that each bench was already occupied by a group of elderly gentlemen, I told Skyler to sit on one of the benches. Obedient son that he is, he found one small spot right next to one of the guys, immediately making himself a part of this group of older, rib jabbing men. They all took to Skyler immediately and made him a part of their conversation, talking about his backpack, and what was in his backpack (a big stuffed dinosaur), and who is that, Elmo?

It was the cutest thing I've ever seen, and I'm so bummed that I didn't get a picture. But now every time we walk in the gym, they always say hi to Skyler, and he's always happy to see them. It's definitely a bright spot in our day.
