I will say it right now–I am a total slacker when it comes to scheduling playdates for Noah and I’m sure it will be the same with Zoë.  I often am rushed at pick-up and/or drop-off and don’t always have a lot of time to talk to the other moms.  This isn’t to say that Noah hasn’t had playdates and hasn’t been on playdates–he has, but not nearly as many as he could have had. And this year I have been especially bad about arranging playdates since we have 4 neighbors who live on either side of us that the kids play with.   I just didn’t feel the impetus to arrange playdates.

But Noah has been asking to get together with some of his friends and his school has asked us to get together with two new families who will joining his kindergarten class next year.  So, in a way I am being forced to arrange playdates and I have.

Noah has two this weekend–his BFF and future wife is coming over on Saturday and then on Sunday we are meeting with a new family.  And am working on another playdate with another of his BFFs and another new family.  So, I am feeling pretty successful at this point with getting Noah together with his friends.  But it is still hard, especially since I work and many of us work. But I will continue to attempt to make sure Noah has some playdates.  And, I guess I’ll have to do the same for Zoë since she is starting school in the fall.

Great….Just….Great.
