I braved Baby & Me today with Leni. Last week, we didn't make it as the morning was just too chaotic and I didn't get the girls ready on time to leave.
It's a much bigger class than when I used to go with Gemma. Leni was one of the younger babies; most of them were 5-7 months old. Definitely didn't know anyone there and it always gets awkward when they want you to pair up for an "activity". Right. I forgot about those...
Toddler Time on Mondays is somewhat less "structured" and although we did sing some songs and stuff yesterday, it's mostly a free for all playtime for the kids and they sure seem to love it. I thought I'd take Leni to B&M so I could meet some new moms whose kids Leni will grow to be friends with, but then it just dawned on me that most of Gemma's friends have or are expecting younger siblings so they are gonna naturally be friends! I also thought I beat some of my social awkwardness and shyness, but that proved to be false. I found that it was still difficult to approach people, as especially most of them seemed to know each other. I don't know if I will actually go back...
We are going to a playdate this afternoon. I LOVE BEING ON MAT LEAVE! It is always fun to see everyone and have the kids play.
