New Friends! Ruby and I have made some new friends through our various outings and activities, and we finally formed a playgroup with a few of them. We met for the first time last week and hosted our friends here yesterday. Watching them grab toys from one another, completely ignore each other, and then come together for snack time brought back fond memories of our first playgroup meetings with Miles and his friends. I'm hoping we can add a few more moms and kids (just not quite enough chaos, otherwise) but I'm glad we finally got this going. It's nice to have a set time to spend with friends every week, and to see the kids learn to get along--hopefully!
Old Friends! While Ruby was at "school" this morning I had 2 of my "old friends" here for tea and coffee cake (we missed you though, Barbara!), and the chance to see one friend's new baby boy. The coffee cake (rhubarb ripple) did double-duty, playgroup and "mom's morning in" and will serve as dessert tonight too.
We've had several friends move away from Pittsburgh for one reason or another, and it's never easy to see them go. My outgoing children seem to have no problem meeting people, so for now I can depend on them to complete my social network. Miles asks every day to have a friend over or to go to someone's house, so I've been working hard to schedule in lots of social time for him--he just can't seem to get enough!
Ruby has her own way of being social--wondering off! She recently left my side to join a school group touring the aquarium. I noticed she wasn't with our small group of friends and went to look for her. Sure enough, one of the chaperones had noticed her and was helping her find her way back to us.
My two social butterflies--wonder what they'll be like as teenagers!
