The last time we lived in a complex was about 9 years ago and Cammie was not even one so I've never experienced the whole complex kid scene, but I am now!
It is quite amazing to see the children of the complex swarm out of their houses at around 4pm, climb on their bikes (all shapes and sizes, from the black bike variety to big mountain bike variety)and ride together.
These are children that have never met before, yet, within minutes they are laughing and playing happily together. It reminds me a bit of what my childhood was like - we played with our next door neighbours, played in the field across the road and occasionally when they were building houses further down our road, we would venture off to play in the enormous heaps of sand - all without our moms worrying that something would happen to us.
But living in a complex also comes with it's challenges - we're having to teach the children that they cannot scream and shout and behave like hooligans (they don't generally behave like hooligans - thank goodness), to think of other people and to be aware of the fact that they can't just run all over other people's gardens! But they're doing well and making us proud!!
Sleep well, friends!
