A Writer's Life

The park

Here’s a funny thing: for the last 2 or 3 months, Olivier has been mentioning Émilien at least 3-4 times a week. Émilien does this, I want to do that with émilien, etc. We haven’t seen émilien in about 10 months, because life and viruses and all that Jazz. But oli remembers him, and wants to see him.

Today, we made plans to meet another solo mom at the park for a bit of play and a picnic. We drove out of our neighbourhood and started playing in the slides and the swing. And guess who appeared out of nowhere? Yep, émilien, along with his mom, dad, and brother. Oli was very happy! So after our picnic, we went across the park to the water pad, and the boys had a blast running around.

And Henri loved the swing. But not the splashing water.
