socialising is tough when your two...13...32!

I took the kids to playgroup today and they had a blast.We hadn't been to this particular tuesday session before and found it had older kids which was great for jas.Jasper spent alot of time just running around,when not in the ride-on's or the sandpit that is...shame,there is a real pecking order with kids and ofcourse the "bigger 4-year-olds" had to give jas alittle shove,i wasn't very impressed and my natural instinct was to swoop my son up and kiss his pouty,teary-eyed face(the mother lion protecting her young+ all that),but i refrained from this and he was quite strong about it all really...such is life,and it's how we learn but don't worry I did let a certain 4-year-old's mother know about the incident!.
Ruby loved the toy pram and the slide.Was interesting to me to see roo naturally move towards the doll corner and jasper go straight to the toy dinosaurs and cars!?,I've always given my kids unisex toys but there you go...ruby is definately much more nurturing EG giving me her doll to cuddle or brushing my hair,one day i even found her pretending to put lip chap on,seriously!!
