I've been sick to my tummy all weekend trying to decide whether or not to go to the playgroup's meetup at a gymnastics center. I posted on the meetup board my concerns & fears about my son just to see what they'd say. I had like 12 responses within 12 hours of my initial post. All of the ladies were so kind and said that differences don't matter--- yada yada yada. So, at 8am I decided we'd go. If we didn't like it, we could leave. On our way this morning, my tummy was in knots- kinda like the first day of school jitters. I got lost and ended up being about 20 minutes late. We walked in and I felt a bit uneasy at first. Within 10 minutes, atleast 3 moms came to me and introduced themselves and their kids. Logen was running around like crazy and Parker was stealing a toy from another baby. By the end of the meetup, I felt like the ladies (and a daddy) were genuine. It was a pleasant experience-- much to my suprise!!!! I think we will try this again! Tomorrow afternoon there is another meetup at an ice cream parlor.
I learned something today--- don't let my fears hold my children back!! LOL
BTW: This was our first playgroup since Logen has been Dx'd. And, we lived through it w/o TEARS! Big stuff there!!!!!!
