Playdate

Alex and Claire

Today was our very first playdate! We went to the Jang's home to play with Desiree, Alex, and Jaycen. I have to admit I was very nervous going on my, I mean our, first playdate. I did not know what to expect or what the etiquette was. Do I bring anything, how long should I stay, what if Claire is awful, what if they don't like us???????????? All of these things were running through my head as I was driving over. Thankfully Desiree was a very good hostess and made it easy on me. Claire and Alex (2 years) kind of looked at each other at first. I think Alex was like "Just so you know this is my house." Claire of course looked at him like "I do not care." I was surprised that Claire was a little aggressive at first. I had never seen that side of Claire, she had chalk and he wasn't getting it back, so she pushed him. Alex did such a good job of sharing his toys, especially Thomas the train, and was such a sweet boy. They ended up warming up to each other and by the end they were running around the couch laughing and throwing a ball. I truly think they had a good time. It took some getting used to each other at first but it was fun. Sweet baby Jaycen (1 month) slept almost the entire time. I did get to hold him before I left and he is so sweet and so little. Quinn was, as usual, a good baby and laid on the floor and played and then took a nap herself. Desiree and I had a great time talking and getting to know each other better. She said that playdates are mainly for the moms, and I agree. I had such a good time on my playdate...I can't wait to play again.

  1. What a great summary! I'm so glad you all came over and I think it went really well - you never know what will happen when you get two hormonal toddlers together, lol! Alex tends to be much more possessive here than other places, so I appreciate Claire's patience with him and standing up for herself when needed! The babies were so good, too! I didn't feel outnumbered at all! Hope we can get together soon... I had fun getting to know you all better. :o)
