Left Behind

Dear Sawyer,

I took you and JieJie to the park today, where we met up with our friends Ellie, Bernie and JoJo. JieJie and Ellie were riding their scooters around the track and you were desperately trying to keep up with them but you are still a scooter newbie and kept fumbling and tripping over your own feet. You tried so hard but they were going so much faster, so you got a little frustrated, abandoned your scooter and ran after them, calling out, "JieJie! JieJie! Wait!" She and Ellie were too far ahead, though, and you couldn't catch up so you started crying. Oh, sweetheart! It was sad but also a little funny at the same time. When JieJie and Ellie came back around, they saw how upset you were and we spent the rest of the afternoon playing on the jungle gyms in the playground, where you were better able to keep up!

Love,
Mom
