Toddler Playgroup

When we first moved to our town, Will was about 18 months old and Mikey was a newborn.  I wanted to meet some people so when a neighbor introduced herself and said she had a son Will’s age and mentioned she’d been invited to join a toddler playgroup, I was interested. She spoke with the mom who was organizing it and she was kind and welcoming.  So, from the time my boys were tiny, they had friends in our town.

This was a friend Will made in his toddler playgroup and they were good buddies. They were so different from each other, but they liked hanging out and had fun together. This pal knew Mikey since our little buddy was an infant and he was always kind and accepting.

This made life significantly easier because many of Will’s friends knew Mikey from the time he was tiny and adorable! That meant that as the kids got older, they knew how to interact with Mikey and he was welcome and included with them (as much as any little brother – which is to say, not ALWAYS, but almost always).

I’m so grateful for these kids and their families…there’s a reason they were always welcome in our home!
