When I was on mat leave with Sydney I made a lot of great friends through a Parent Link group that we attended on Wednesdays. I have also been fortunate with timing that some of these friends are also home with their new little ones & we have been able to spend some time together. However, because of these established friendships I have not been motivated to attend Parent Link for the purpose of establishing new friendships. The "problem" is that these friends each had a little girl & Jason has not had much exposure to little boys his age.
Parent Link was great to go to & meet moms with babies around your child's age, but Jason is almost always napping at that time & I have not been motivated play with his schedule to get out there to meet some new moms. However, this means that I am limiting Jason's social circle to only include the siblings of Sydney's friends.
Well, this morning we reconnected with someone I met last fall at Baby Rhyme Time & she (Kelly) has a little boy, Graham, who is only 3 weeks younger than Jason. Graham also has a big brother who has shared many colds & even the chicken pox with Graham, so the last couple of months have prevented us from getting together. Hopefully now that each household is healthier & the boys are getting older & interested in playing with toys & people besides their moms, we can get together more often.
This way hopefully Jason will develop a friend that exists outside his sister's social circle.
