Dance Dance !

I've always enjoyed spending time with Ryu. It makes my heart melt when I see him interact with other kids. This is a video of Ryu and Mya. Mya is my friend's daughter and she is older than Ryu, but that's fine Ryu absolutely adores her. I don't have many friends with children that I actually hang out with.

I have barely involved myself with mommy and baby time with other people. Erika (my coworker) is really the only person that I have had play dates with. I'm sure that when Ryu actually starts school he will have more friends. I think it worked out well that I hang out with Erika because we are the same age and she understands the schedule of parenthood. Most of my friends that do not have children do not understand that I can't just go out any time I want to. If I do go out I really love being able to bring my son around.

Hopefully when Ryu starts school we can have more play dates.

Last Saturday was pretty much filled with tons of fun. Originally the plan was for my friend Erika and I to go hiking. Instead I hiked to her place and then we headed out to Venice Beach & Santa Monica Pier for a mini adventure. It was nice out that day, but the walking definitely kicked my ass.

I noticed that since hanging out with Erika more often I feel like I have been living a more active lifestyle for the past three weeks. To be honest it feels great. I have been able to walk great lengths without having to stop because I was running out of breath. It's nice to be outside more and be able to appreciate it rather than being cooped up inside at home. I am glad that I have a friend who likes being outdoors more and who can pull me outside of my shell as far as going outside is concerned. She's pretty awesome you all should meet her!
