Dec 7: Preschool Social Life


The Frog class plays really well together, and we moms get along really well too. So almost every afternoon, three times a week, many of us find ourselves just hanging around on the playgroup while our kids play - the big kids zipping around and climbing, wrestling, and inventing complex games that we can only begin to understand; the little siblings following them with choppy baby gaits and then watching from a distance when it gets too physical.  When the winter sun drops too low, the air gets cold fast, and that's usually the cue to head home. Or someplace warm.



Once a month, we now have a standing dinner playdate at Ernie's, a local restaurant with pizza and skeeball. We did this for the first time in December, and the preschoolers were a happy gang of playmates.

Below is Isaac between his friends Sadie and Benji.


And here is another favorite, Colton, with his sister and brother.



We spent a few hours at Ernie's that night. The kids were happy, and the grownups got to hang out at a bar and drink good local beer.
