Another First

It was Mark's first Halloween (not trick-or-treating, but passing out candy). That was big enough.

But today brought a really big first that I didn't see coming.

The doorbell rang. I went to the front door, threw it open to find a local boy (who I knew) and a girl (who I didn't). Benjamin is the youngest son of the director of my division at work, a nice kid, fourth grade or somewhere in that area. The girl is probably his age. She was wearing red colored lip balm. Both had their bikes with them.

"Can Mark play?" Ben asked.

Unfortunately, Mark was still in his afternoon nap. He didn't get to experience the thrill of the first time someone came over to ask if he could come play.

I can't believe someone came over and asked Mark to come out and play. It's a new day.
