Yesterday we hosted another fun playdate. This time it was for P, so a different age range than what we are usually use to (we do more playdates with F's friends). So there were 3 very excited 2 year-old boys plus my always hyperactive F. I had prepare a nice snack for the kids (and the moms of course) and my friends also brought a lot of delicious treats to eat. However, I had completely forgotten that when they are so young they just want to play and they need full supervision all the time. You see, when the kids reach F's age, they also need attention, but you don't necessarily need to be with them all the time. So, you can actually enjoy a nice cup of coffee while the kids are playing around.
So here's a tip that worked really good yesterday. When you have delicious cookies (especially if they come from
Levain's bakery, they are amazing) waiting for you on the table, but you can't get to them, bring the food to you. We improvised a great picnic in the kids bedroom. We brought juices, cake, fruit and the famous cookies. The kids loved it and we (the moms) could sweetened our very active tongues. Too bad I have no pictures...
The only picture I remembered to take was when almost all the kids (there's one more cautious missing there) decided to enter into P's crib. Boy, it was a fun afternoon. They all went to bed exhausted and happy.
