Playdate Funnies
Jun. 30th, 2004 03:27 pmWe hosted our first "real" playdate here today. We had 5 moms and a total of 9 babies, ranging from Lily (3 1/2 months) to Sadie (will be 3 years in September). It was a bit hectic, to say the least, but I had a few really good laughs from these kids.
At one point, Alex hit Laszlo in the head with a small block. Laszlo just looked at him and said, "Be Gentle" which is what I tell him about Lily. Only when Alex's mom disciplined him did Laszlo realize it hurt and started to cry. A little bit later Alex was in Laszlo's way and Laszlo said, "Scu me, Alex" - which shocked me because we never see Alex and I never would have thought Laszlo picked up his name that quick.
Laszlo had his moments of unsocialness. I left everyone in the basement while I showed my friend the upstairs and changed Lily's diaper. I came down to the main floor and Laszlo had taken himself and his froggy up from the basement (where ALL the toys are) and sat down in his little easy chair and watched TV by himself. I like that he knew he could get out of the situation without having a fit. I was really proud of him.
Later on, Julie (2 1/2 year old curly blonde pixie) told her mom there was a big blue monster behind the curtains in the basement. We have a section curtained off because that's how it was when we moved in and we just left it like that. For Laszlo's first birthday, my brother bought him a HUGE stuffed Sully from Monsters, Inc. I keep it out of sight because it's just so huge it's all you see in the room. So Julie's mom said, "No Julie...ask Laszlo's mommy and she'll tell you that there's no monster there." Seems lil Julie is at that stage where she won't go to bed because there are monsters under her bed and in her closet, etc. (Where do kids GET that from?) So I said, "Oh, but Susan...there IS a monster behind the curtain!" It was kinda funny, guess-ya-had-to-be-there sorta thing, but I'll never forget it. I took Sully out and the kids jumped all over it, except Laszlo of course, who made himself busy in the newly vacant ball pit.
I managed to clean up all the toys already since everything has a place, thanks to my total and complete anal-ness. Both kids are sleeping and I'm gonna put my feet up and have a nice glass of ice water.
Whew, glad it's over.
Oh, and I am proud of myself too because I threw away all but 8 of the leftover Munchkins (from a box of 50). Normally I'd just be popping them all day long.
