My good friend Julie was in town for a visit, so we figured getting together at the park with our children would be a great opportunity for them to play and for us to catch up. Braden wasn't quite sure what to think of this 3-year-old girl. And Cherise was pretty skeptical about Braden too. After all, he is loud and very active....and she is, well, quite the opposite!
Looks like Braden was trying to swing higher than Cherise. He was just checking out his playdate, probably wondering about this whole idea of hanging out with a girl.
Still kind of keeping their distance....
Ok, so it was time to show Cherise that Braden could keep up with an older girl. 
After Cherise & Braden enjoyed running around in the 100 degree weather at the park, we figured they could wind down at Barnes & Noble. Julie's story-telling skills put mine to shame. Seriously, she should consider doing it professionally! She kept Braden's attention for about 15 seconds, and then he was off......
Why does the book store sell stuffed toys, train sets, and all kinds of things to distract Braden from concentrating on the real reason we went there in the first place? He successfully rearranged the whole stuffed toy section, but I don't really think Barnes & Noble will be offering him a job any time soon. I am pretty sure those chances were shot once he started crawling under the tables and climbing up the bookshelves.
Keeping a safe distance from each other, they actually sat on the same bench for just long enough to snap a picture. Then Braden continued pestering sweet Cherise. Hopefully when the time comes for Braden to be interested in girls, he will have picked up on better flirting techniques. He has about 20 years before he has to worry about that though!
Girls and boys really are different......Cherise was quietly enjoying her book while.....
Braden was drinking and spilling some iced tea.
Mellowing out at home, Braden really did enjoy the book that Julie and Cherise bought for him!
