I had a break in my schedule this afternoon, so I asked Mom if she wanted to take SJ to a park and talk about all the mess with Dan. She did, and she met us at the caterpillar park with good drinks and chips.

Selah June was so excited to see Grammy, but she was heartbroken to see another mom and toddler on the park. It took her a while to accept that we might have to share this space. Eventually she decided to explore, and she quickly met an older little girl who wanted to be her friend. They were so cute together. The little girl saw a pretend car on one of the playground panels. She told SJ they were going to go to Walmart. And then they both started singing songs. BINGO was a favorite. Then a little black kid showed up and joined the pretend party to Walmart. He said, y’all got any rap to listen to? His momma busted out laughing and said, “of course he would say that.” She blamed it all on his daddy….

Selah June would have played there forever. She loves playing with older little girls and being their little pet or baby or whatever they want her to be. I literally had to drag her away from there, while she screamed bloody murder at me.
