Play Dates Make it All Better

I have recently discovered the beauty of play dates.  It might seem like a hassle to get Elli up, ready, and out the door.  But once that part is over, the play date makes the day all better.  Elli loves trying out new toys and sharing with friends.  Selfishly though, it is sooo nice to sit with another adult and have a conversation.  Also, Elli doesn't need entertaining because she is playing so life is good!  Here is a photo from our last play date with Mrs. Molly and Lyra.  Elli was a bit bossy and kept telling Lyra to sit down and say "cheese."  I guess that is a social skill we will have to work on!
