Saturday morning was jam full with family activities. We went to a park and watched Alycia climb the jungle gym. Jayden was the utter helicopter parent, moderating every risky did our little bean took on the slides and ladders. It was bedearing to observe.
At lunchtime Jayden surprised me with a complete picnic kit he had purchased for the day. We sat on its Desertcart perfect red and white-checkered blanket and happily munched on the cucumber sandwiches he had prepared.
The park was a watering hole for couples from our preschool and soon Jayden played host to an impromptu party of friends with kids. I was enveloped in the happy clamor of young parents and our brood of toddlers. I felt so proud of Jayden and I.
My cell phone beeped. I pulled it out of my jeans and saw the text.
