The Po Show

Socializing

We had such a role reversal today. After going to the NY Hall of Science, we went to visit some friends (friends we've known from Ross' UCLA grad days, who have two boys between our kids in age). When they heard that we were going to visit, Matthew wished he had brought along his DS, to have something to do at their house. Tessa was delighted to be visiting and playing with the boys. These are the usual reactions we get to the notion of socializing with other people.

By the time we got home in the evening, Tessa was tired and said she wished we had not gone to their house (she actually had a good time while there). Matthew said he had had a great time and was happy we had gone to visit.

Tessa was just over-tired, so that's why she was being a butt, but I was pleased to see that Matthew had seen the visit as such a positive experience. He played really nicely with the boys all afternoon.

Yet another example of how things are really progressing with Matthew :)!
