Playdate

I am very nervous this morning! We have our first playdate today. Another autistic boy is coming to our house this afternoon. They are best of friends in school but what are they going to be like together out with school?

I met his dad at a school parent forum meeting. At the meeting I mentioned that as the bus picks up and drops off our kids, we miss the opportunity to meet other parents at the school gates and the kids miss out on playdates. After the meeting, the dad said lets organise a playdate! I was so excited!!

Now the day is here and my stomach is churning!

I suggested our house for the first playdate, as the other boy is already on the bus when they get to our house, so he has been here and has seen me – I always wave to him. Plus we have a huge trampoline in the garden and a swing seat they can both chill on. The forecast was to be sunny, and thankfully it was correct – it is a beautiful day!

I’ll post later what happens today! Wish me luck!!
