School for Kevin

When we dropped off treats yesterday one of the people said they do a little 'school' type thing with a couple 2-3 year olds and were actually looking for another little boy to join.  Since she was hosting the next day, she invited me to bring Kevin over.  Fast forward to today.  We got there at 9 and were the first ones to arrive.  Kevin cried and cried and didn't want me and Kherington to leave.  Tough luck.  He ended up settling down and wasn't really happy, but wasn't crying when we left.  When we picked him up around noon, I found that he hadn't cried again.  Instead he played by himself for a good 30 minutes before deciding to play with the other kids.  Then was really excited when they got to go outside and play on the swing set.  That's my boy.

I wasn't sure what to expect really.  There was the awkward unspoken, I'd like to join the group but do we (Kevin & I) mesh with the other kids/parents.  So far it seems awesome.  Kevin is going to go again on Thurs then I'm going to host next T Th which should be good to have something to do and have some kids over.

Now I need to find some friends for Kherington.  That's a little trickier since she is a little older and most kids her age seem to go to pre-school.  I'm not opposed to preschool, but I haven't looked into it much, she'll start Kindergarten in Sept anyways and it's an added expense that I don't think we need as long as I can find her some friends to play with.  We'll see how it pans out.  I'm thinking I'll start taking the kids to story time at the library and see if we can meet any kids her age that way.
