The Beauty of Playdates
When Caroline was smaller, we had plenty of playdates. I enjoyed visiting with other moms while the kids played. Now that she is older, I have a whole new appreciation for playdates. Now, you see, it's a drop and go kind of thing. And either way (as host or guest) playdates are FABULOUS! If you're the one dropping your kid to play with someone else's for a few hours, the beauty is obvious. What is not as obvious is how great it is to be the host, too. Mom can get quite a bit done (or just relax with a few moments that don't involve Candyland) without constant interuptions from a lone preschooler. Two is better than one.

Yes, yes and YES! It gets even better when they're older. I swear, whenever I have something I have to get done, I invite friends over for both Alex and Katie, then I don't have to see any of my children the whole day--since Liz inevitably tags along with one set or the other.
Liz is still new at the whole play date thing, so we're not drop-n-running yet.
Aha! You and I are on the same page again!
