Tonight I went over to our friend's new house for a girl's night. Every few months a group of mostly young moms, get together to eat and chat. Well, tonight was special because we all got a tour of a lovely new house! What a fabulous house to raise a family in, and have your friends with kids come over to- there was so much space. Besides the beautiful house, it was really great to hang out with other young moms. Everyone brought their kids, and it's just fun to watch them all interact, and be able to talk about babies/kids in a comfortable setting. Not that my friends who aren't moms yet are no fun (you all are a different kind of fun!), but it's refreshing to see and hear how other moms deal with their kids.
It was interesting to watch Caleb's interaction (or lack thereof) with the other kids. He was very quiet, and just played with toys by himself. While we were sitting downstairs, Caleb was upstairs playing quietly with a truck by himself. It's not that he doesn't like being around other kids; he was interested in what they were doing. But, he just seems content by himself. I know I should never trust him alone, but tonight he listened to me when I said no, and enjoyed his playtime. I hope this lasts! :)
It's refreshing, especially for me being a stay-at-home mom, to be in the presence of other moms and give Caleb a social experience. I hope our friendships and playdates continue through the years.
