One of the things I love about the islands is the chill atmosphere. A few examples we've seen so far:
1. I go to the park everyday completely sweaty and nasty directly after a jog and don't even care - no one else does either.
2. You can show up to church wearing just about anything and people don't look at you differently.
3. I used to be upset if I didn't brush and style E&S hair before we were out in public, but after seeing kids playing barefoot with just a diaper on as clothing, I decided to chill out a little.
4. I think I have worn make-up less than once per week and really have forgotten about it because no one else is wearing it.
5. At the playground, kids leave their toys there and they are okay for anyone to use. At first, I kept telling E&S not to touch toys at the park because "they aren't ours" but soon discovered that those same toys were there day after day and new kids were playing on them every time. They now play with those toys and have found their favorite ones.
I love the times when they play together without me stepping in to make that happen. It is precious.
