Hi Ruthanne, I'm home most of the day with my 2 and a half year old as well. (At least until my older kids get home!) I'm probably pretty far from you though as I'm 50 miles from Cleveland. We moved to Ohio a few years ago and I haven't met any Mom's with kids my son's age and he's never had any little friends yet, just his older siblings. I was hoping to find a few Mom's who get together once a month or so for play dates because I'd be happy to make the drive, just not weekly. My son sounds a bit like yours in that he's a busy boy and loves trucks and all things boy! :o) Well, please let me know if you and any other Mom's ever plan any play date get togethers as I'd love to join you. Thanks, Cyndi (From Berlin Center aka middle of nowhere)
