Rainy Day Play date

On Thursday Ruby had her first official sit down play date. It was so good for her. She really came out of her shell. And it was nice for me to talk to a couple ladies about mommy stuff. 

She spent time with 3 other kiddos, ages 10 months, 1 1/2, and 4. They all got along great, which you wouldn't expect from the age range. I was impressed, the other kids were very patient with the babies and everyone was sharing. It was a real success. 

I now believe that play dates are essential for a child's growth and development. Especially if they are not in daycare. They need the child interaction, they need to form bonds and make friends. And it's great if you can do it without all the germs from daycare. 

You could tell she was having such a good time with them. All smiles. We can't wait to have another one!
