Playdate with the boys

Mom organized her first playdate last Sunday. 6 boys, their mummies, daddies and helpers gathered together at Gramma's while she was away with Grampa in Taiwan. XL and ZH and Auntie Y were very kind to help around the house during and after the playdate.

The boys played with toys, had a little splash and swim time in an inflatable, shallow pool, ate snacks, had some tv time, then went home. The adults had cakes, puffs, pastries and ice cream, and chit-chat.

Dominic did well on Sunday, he wasn't shy and approached the other boys with curiosity. But he got tired of the toys after awhile and crawled off on his own, very typical Dom behavior. He enjoyed the water play. On hindsight, I should have let him played freely instead of holding on to him, kiasu mummy that I am. Wonder if it is a good idea to fill up the pool again the next time at gramma's.

All in all, I think the boys enjoyed themselves very much. It was tiring, but wasn't too tedious. I wish I could have played the participant role more, but that's how it goes. Great to have the space to roam around and plenty of things to occupy the boys.
