Play date

I describe my oldest as in need of an audience. Everyday he asks who is coming over to play. And not that he is completely interactive yet but he is getting there. But he plays better if another child (besides brother) is nearby. But take away the audience and he is a fly stuck on me. So I prefer play date after play date. I admit I am a lazy play date host. I prefer it mostly at my house- my comfort zone and i park my prego belly in a chair an rarely get up. I pointed out to a friend my observation of T and his need of an audience. She looked at me and said "Don't you think it's also you that needs an audience". I had to think about it for awhile and realized how right she was. Think about it. How often does the day go by faster when we have friends over. Or do we call a friend just to chat while we do laundry. My days go by faster when shared. In knowing this i should try to slow down and enjoy my days with just my boys...but instead I'm opening up my house....WHO WANTS A PLAY DATE =)
