The importance of friendship

I have had a really lovely morning, meeting up with some on my antenatal friends and their babies. I'm so happy we've managed to keep in touch, even though we don't meet as frequently as we did. It's very reassuring to know people with children the same age as yours - you can compare issues, encourage eachother and offer advice and the children can entertain each other! We go regularly to a church cafe which is very child-friendly with lots of toys and a large area for them to play. I wish there were more places like this! I am hoping that when my church gets its own building  we could do something similar - such a blessing to the community.

Chloe was in an extra cute mood, which was lovely for mummy! She was playing really well, not running off, being kind and gentle to her friends, say please and thank you; in other words making me very proud. These are the days I need to hold in my mind when she isn't in such an obliging mood and realise that all the disciplining is so that Chloe grows into a beautiful, polite, kind little girl like she was this morning.

When we were leaving I told Chloe to say goodbye to her friends. To her this means giving out kisses so she went round kissing each toddler and their mums. A funny moment was when she went to kiss one of the boys and another boy she had just kissed ran up and got in between them for another kiss! Being fought over already haha! I love how affectionate Chloe is.

Can you tell I'm in a good mood?!
