At hijo's last gymnastics class, one of his classmate's parent starting talking to me. Turns out they live in our neighborhood and her daughter loved being in class with hijo. So I gave them my phone number and indicated that we would love to have a play date (time for the kids to play together that is scheduled by the parents). So yesterday, they called and we planned a play date for tonight. Hijo was completely excited to come to her house. She was excited too until the reality of having a boy over hit her. Hijo wanted to stay outside (as did the mommas since the weather was so nice), she wanted to go in (what is it with girls and playing inside???). But it turned out great. She is a runner- she ran around the cul-de-sac multiple times and hijo was not too happy with that.
But he did it a few times, just to show her he could run faster. This is the first time he has been the fastest- I think he liked it.
They tried some badminton- hijo liked the game alot. She hit the shuttle cock 2 times and was done.
But again, it was a good play date and we will definitely invite her and her parents over for another play date at our house. They are both going to be soccer this fall, but we think they will be in different groups since hijo is now 5 and she is still 4. But we will see.
It was just awesome to have time with new friends and time to talk to adults.
People have always said that kids expand your circle of contacts/friends and it is so true. I think things are going to really expand as school starts. And the school Count down is 7 more days!!!!!!
Love and hugs,
momma
