Rainy beach day with friends

The boy you see in the red is Philip.  He spent two years in the same class with Hugo.  As families we finally realized all our boys are very close in age.  Philip's mom Renata is Polish and quite the cook, which makes for great playdates.  Watching these friendships grow with the boys is really special.  Hugo adores Philip and will say his name dozens of times and chase him around.  The younger boys Dash and Max are best buds. 

Parenting kids on the Spectrum isn't always easy.  A day out can be up-ended by crowd noise or something that may spook Hugo.  But on this drizzly Sunday it was a best-foot-forward kind of day.
