As has been documented, Tatum’s friends happen to be mostly boys. And ALL of her playdates have been at others’ homes with BOYS! However, she does have many girlfriends! At school, she is making more and more friends, and some of them are yes, GIRLS!
Olivia is one such girl. Her mom is my age, and this makes it so much fun to spend time together.
Tatum had never had a little friend over to play with her toys, so I offered Olivia a playdate. Tatum was so excited to have a guest!
Tatum had a plan of what they would play with. Olivia had a different plan.
This was part of learning to play with a friend.
At one point, she enlisted Uli to play superhero.
Then Olivia joined in.
Watching those two was fun as they figured out each others’ likes.
We learned that when you have a guest, you allow them to go through your stuff and join in their likes. It was good for Tot to share her toys as well.
Fun times!
