Today, the kids in Wes' class exchanged valentines cards. No, I wasn't able to find Thomas cards in any stores. I did find some online, but didn't have enough time to order them. Instead we went with Silly Face Sticker valentines. You can create faces using stickers on blank faces. I thought the other kids would like the stickers and what 3 year old doesn't like being creative? I made sure to put our phone number on Z's card. Well guess what!? Mom called today! We have scheduled a play date for the Thursday of winter vacation. She sounded really happy about getting the boys together and I am too.

I'm not really sure how to host a playdate. We don't have many and we usually go to someone else house. I told her this was new for us and she said she understood. I don't drink coffee, so now I need to go get a small coffee pot incase she does. I didn't ask and I didn't want to seem like a putz for asking. I'm already planning a cleaning list in my head of what I need to clean the two days before our playdate. We aren't messy people, but I'm not a clean freak either. Except when company comes over. Then I scrub the floors, vacuum every rug and dust like a mad woman. I'm just so excited to connect with this mom and give Wes an opportunity to continue his socializing with Z outside of school. I'm going to talk to his teachers and see if they have any suggestions on how to make this a productive playdate for all.
