You Gotta Have Friends!!

When I made the decision to stay at home instead of putting Whit in some form of daycare, I wanted to be sure that he still had lots of interaction with other babies so that when it came time for things like Mother's Morning Out and preschool, he would be ready. So far, especially this week, Whit has gotten to see lots of his new friends! On Monday, Megan and Alexia came over for lunch and a playdate, and they had a big time playing with Whit's toys. On Tuesday morning, I took Whit to his Gymboree music class, and he had a great time with two "older women!" One was a one year old named Eva, and the other was a 10 month old named Elisa. Both moms were really sweet, so we had fun watching our munchkins banging on all sorts of new instruments. On Tuesday afternoon, Taina brought Pippa over for a playdate, which was great because they hadn't seen each other in a while. Can you tell Whit has lots of female friends?! Today, I hosted my Mom and Tot group, and Michele and Wills came over, along with Deonna and her daugher, Sienna, who is 18 months old. Jenny, Bree, Megan, and their babies couldn't make it this time, but the three of us had a ball. Sienna was like the little mommy of the group, giving the baby boys kisses on the forehead. It was so cute!! Tomorrow, we are going up to see all of my pregnant buddies at Autrey Mill. Lizzie is due with a girl on Halloween, Stephanie is due with a boy on Thanksgiving, Stephanee is due at the beginning of December with a girl, another Stephanie is due at the end of December with a boy, Andrea is due in January with a girl, Amy is due in February with a boy, and Tania is due in March, but she doesn't know what she is having yet, of course. Whew! Whit is about to have many more play mates soon! Can you believe I have three friends named Stephanie who are ALL pregnant and teach at the same school?!? Crazy!!! I think there must be something in the water at AMMS! Speaking of friends, I am so excited about this weekend because one of my best and oldest friends is coming into town for the weekend, and I can't wait to see her! Dorian and her new husband, Michael, now live in Charlotte, but they are coming into town for a party that Michael's parents are throwing them, so Scott and I are going. Yay for an evening among adults!
