We went to a homeschool meet-up in a lovely community garden in the East Village last week. P's really been having issues with being around other kids for a month or so and I hoped it would be smooth for him. While most of the kids played ball or tag or dug in the sandpit P wanted to hang out with me under a tree (vividly conjuring images of his father in high school:) There were a couple of home school teens playing tag together and this was what prompted P to interact. He followed them around the garden paths hoping to be included in their giggling shrieks. When the time to go grew near he ventured into the sandbox and tried to ignore the kids around him. Its such a strange stage for such a social kid...
