To help us get through the winter, I've lined up playdates for Charley each week. They go a little something like this:
Monday - Henry comes over for "Learning Time" and some play time; they usually play for about 20 minutes, then we have learning time, then they play for a short while more, and at some point Henry decides he's had enough and disappears out the door!
Tuesday Grant comes over; he has great imagination, lining up Charley's stuffed animals for a parade, putting on puppet shows, writing out her Christmas list for her... and great energy! You can always tell they've had a good time, I have to put every single toy away when Grant leaves! ;)
Wednesday Dylan gets dropped off the bus, then we take him home; Dylan makes Charley crack up like no one else can. I love to eavesdrop on them, and hear her belly laughs! I wish I had his touch!
Thursday Evie stops by; Evie always has a snack in tow for Charley, and they share it before heading to play. Charley's playdates with Evie have been going on for many months now.
And Friday, after school, Carli and Angie get dropped off, then we take them home; their favorite game is hide-and-seek - they are expert entertainers! I hardly hear a peep out of Charley while they are here - she's perfectly content to disappear into the back of the house with them and forget all about me!
We LOVE our playdates! It has become custom, when C wakes in the morning, she asks "Who's coming to play with me today?"
