It's Sunday again that means it's time for one of my favorite things... Sunday Citar!!
Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.
Don't walk behind me, I may not lead.
Just walk beside me and be my friend.

Today, layered perfectly between some last-minute errands, packing a few more boxes and making a growing pile of stale clothes clean and fresh was the sweet and sticky center that was my niece's birthday party. Her first.
And after she thoroughly massaged her very first birthday cake into a muddy mess and laughed her way through the frosting, my son found his friend. They were first womb buddies as us mamas were pregnant together and delivered less than a month a part, and have seen each other every week since. Though these two completely ignore each other's presence just about as often as they enjoy each other's company, but they get each other. In a swarm of bigger, faster, louder kids they gravitate away from the pack... together. Sometimes one leads and the other follows, usually for only a moment, and more often than not, they seek each other out, if not for much more than an awkward hug and a kiss.
A bond of friendship.
Cute, adorable, odd, year-and-a-half old friendship.
And yes, he's giving her a flower.
Here's where we all share a quote or two... a favorite, a new find, a laugh inducing or tear inducing quote you love this week. (Citar = to quote in Spanish)
