As SS is in middle school by himself now b/c CC is in high school, he's making his own identity. This year he made a bunch of good friends. They have played together several times during the Winter and as now the weather is really nice, they want to play outside with each other much more at the park. SS ask almost each day to go out to play with his friends, but knowing us, we can't let him do that; he needs to finish his hw, music, etc first. However, when he does get a chance, he's out there running around the park with his group of friends.
