C and W

They grew up together. They met when they were 4 and 5 months old, give or take a few weeks. They've been through it all.

• Eating cereal

• Crawling

• Fighting over toys (sometimes C wins, sometimes W wins. We probably shouldn't encourage it but we do. Making them men! Today C took a stick away from W. W took it back! Yay! W had grass leaf. C grabbed it for himself. One for C!)

• Walking

• New shoes

• Not eating

Anyway, on our way back from a stroll we came across names written in the sidewalk. You know like you did when you were kids. I feel like you don't see much of that anymore. Well, I think it's because they don't repave sidewalks in N.O. anymore. We have much bigger fish to fry.

Back to the story. The names were C's dad's, his little brother and C's childhood friend. C is named after his dad. and his friend...same name as W. Are you following this? It was really sweet. Very nostalgic.

So W and C grew up together.
But they have a lot more growing up to do. And once they are all big and grown maybe one day C and W's wives will be strolling down the sidewalk and will have the same story to share.
