Hi Patricia, My name is Patricia too and I have 2 kids, Sebastian who is almost 3 and Victoria who is 19 months. I am also struggling with potty training my son. I just bought a book to give me some advice. I also work full time and would also be looking for a playgroup in the evening or the weekend. It sounds like we have a lot in common and our kids are close in age. Patti |

Patti, great to hear from you. Are you having any success with the book. I have been trying for over a month and a half now and I think she is winning. What's the name of the book? I have just about given up on connecting with any moms. Seems like all the playgroups are during the day. Would you be interested in a weekend get together. I get off from work at 4:30, but I live in far North Plano almost in Frisco near Stonebrair Mall. Sorry for babbling I am really excited to meet you. |

Hi, I would love to meet you and your kids. A weekend morning would work well for me. I get out of work at 5:00 and by the time my husband, kids, and I get home it's about 6:15, so usually if we don't have plans we stay home and have dinner with the kids and play with them until their bedtime around 8:00. Weekend mornings would be good for me to get together with you and your kids. I live in North Dallas, so maybe somewhere in between would work? I am thinking maybe Barnes and Noble since they have the big children's book area that the kids can play in. I live near Preston Road and there is a Barnes and Noble on Preston at or around Park Blvd. Let me know... |

I have an out-of-town guest that weekend, so can we try for the weekend after, Dec 8? Can we meet at 10:00 instead? My kids usually nap around noon. Let me know about the date. |

The 8th is ok with me, my little ones dont nap until 1so this will work for both of us. 10 am is ok too, I think the store is opens at 9. There is a coffee shop attached not sure if they allow coffee in the play area. If they do maybe we can have a cup and conversation while the children play. I am 5' 2" with brown shoulder lenght hair-usually pulled back in a ponytail. Caitlyn almost always has on something pink. See you on the 8th - Patricia |

I am so so sorry to do this, but I have some unexpected errands to run tomorrow morning. I actually had to make an eyedoctor's appointment because my glasses broke and I need new contacts and they only had a morning appointment. I am not available at any other time this weekend unfortunately. We have a family event on Sunday. I was actually thinking that on Dec 15 (sat) I would take the kids to a place called Planet Pizza in Plano. I have heard it's pretty good and have never been there. Would you be interested in doing that around 10:00? And then we can get pizza for the kids there for lunch. Check it out online Planet Pizza. Again, I am so sorry for the last minute change in plans, but I cannot get out of this appointment. Patti |

Patti, just got your message today the kids and I thought you stood us up on Saturday we were at B&N. We will be happy to try this again but 10 was a little bit of a struggle for my guys. And if we're staying for lunch can we do 10:30. Also let's confirm on the Thursday. Are they on Custer and Parker.Do you want to meet outside or inside at a the counter.Maybe we can email numbers or something. |

Hi, sorry I have been in and out of work. It's been crazy here and at home. Daughter is getting a molar - she's had some pain and fever. Husband has had the flu. Luckily, I haven't gotten it. No worries about Saturday. We will plan for another time. Maybe after holidays since it just seems to get crazy for everyone at this time of the year. Enjoy your company |
