Making New Friends

I have taken a giant leap out of my comfort zone. Last week I decided that I would like to find more people with little boys close to Colin's age. I jumped online to meetup.com and joined a new playgroup. And I went to my first "meetup" yesterday...all alone. This is not something I do. I am shy and usually just makes friends through other friends. But I took some initiative and decided that this is something I would have to do on my own.

The play date yesterday was all the way in Cool Springs at Peek-a-Book Playtown so only one other mom was able to come. Her son is 16 months old so I was very excited that if only one person came at least their kiddo was Colin's age! Colin had a blast! I didn't get to talk much until we sat down for snack because I was chasing him everywhere. He was free to roam and go where ever he wanted and took advantage of that.

We stayed about 1.5 hours and then had a snack and came home. He fell asleep as soon as I started driving (10:45am) and I moved him to his crib when we got home. I had to go wake him up at 1:45 so he could eat a late lunch. I know he would have slept longer but I really didn't want him to skip lunch! He was pooped. And I got some cleaning done. =)

Here are a few pictures.
