Today Mac had a first-time playdate with an American girl whose dad we know from the embassy. This 7 year-old came over about 12:30 and they played without incident, quarrel, heated discussion, etc until 5:00. The only commotion I heard was raucous belly-laughing or screaming when one jumped out from hiding and scared the other.
Mac has had such great playdates recently. They play Wii, lightsaber fight, build Legos and forts, eat snacks, construct all sorts of crazy things out of TinkerToys, play hide-and-seek, and NOBODY GETS BENT OUT OF SHAPE!! Nobody gets their feelings hurt, nobody tattles, nobody says they're ready to go home early, and Mac doesn't want them to leave when they have to go.
For happy, fun playdates and nice friends for my boy to play with, I am truly grateful.
