Mommy & me.

The playgroup area looked similar to this just filled with moms & babies.

Today, I finally went to the mommy and me playgroup that I've been talking about. I'm very glad I went, but it wasn't quite what I had anticipated. I thought it was more of a class where they give you age appropriate play ideas, but it was more of a baby free for all. It was a gym filled with toys and there was a small area for smaller babies who aren't crawling or are just starting to crawl. It was amazing to see Laney interact with other babies. I didn't expect her to be so social since she's never been around other babies before. She was all smiles and laughs which made me extremely happy. She was very gentle when touching other babies, wasn't fussy at all, and seemed to genuinely enjoy being there. I will definitely be going again this Thursday! 

What I didn't really enjoy was the fact that all I got out of the other moms, save for one, was some small talk. For the most part they stayed in their own little groups not seeming interested in meeting anyone new. Now it may just be because it was my first time going, but I again am feeling not super welcome. But I am an optimistic person so I am going to stay positive and continue going:). 

On to a different subject; Bug. We haven't had her for very long and she's an extremely sweet dog, but with all the training she needs and how stubborn she is, we aren't sure if we will be able to keep her:(. I hate that we might have to take her back, but we may not have been ready for a dog just yet. We are going to give it a little more time, but if we can't get her completely potty trained and get her to stop digging we wont have a choice. If there are any people reading this that might have some tips it would be greatly appreciated. I really don't want to get rid of her:(.

Well I can hear the call of motherhood. Laney is awake. I'll be back tomorrow or the next day or...whenever;).
