So when her friend Zachary wanted to have a playdate on Monday, I jumped at the chance.
Joan, a most generous friend of mine offered to come get madeline and bring her to her house (20 min away) for a lunch date.
I dont tell madeline about ANYTHING until it is imminent. Lest i should hear 'now mommy' now mommy... all day or the screams and sobs of let-down if there should be a catastrophe and it doesnt happen. So when she saw Zachary pull up to our house, she came running to me
'Zachary's here!'
'do you know why, madeline?'
'why?!'
'you are going to his house for a playdate.' 'now, mommy isnt going to be the...'
and before i could finish my sentence, she had her shoes and hat on and was walking out to their car.
So she had her first non chaperoned playdate and it was incredible for us all.
