went to the mom's group meeting this morning and it was great! LO really hasnt been around kids or babies much so she was trying to climb all over them, eat their snacks, and steal their pacifiers..BUT she was the youngest there and all the moms thought she was really sweet.
all the moms were super nice and they plan a lot for the year! sounds like it should be fun! cannot wait to start doing things with them
Re: F/U on mom's group
Butting in, I found mine on meetup.com or you can even do a facebook search for your towns name mom's group
I had been thinking about posting a thread like the OP, I've gotten into MOPS. Anybody else? The only thing is, it's not really the kind of group where the Moms and kids are always together during the meetings. When they have the official monthly meetings, childcare is provided.
So here's my thing, I wanted to get into something like this for DS - so HE could socialize. But, even tho he likes playin w/ the kids he doesn't want me to leave him. He hasn't been watched by other people much except DH. They don't completely refrain from you keeping your LO w/ you, but it's known that they prefer that you leave them in the play-rooms. The playdates throughout the month are cool tho. What do y'all think of your groups so far?
as far as fitting it into her schedule...this moms group is super flexible. you can attend as many or as little activities as you want. they understand cuz they are moms too!
today it worked out well because it was between naps and i just brought some easy snacks and a bottle with us! i dont know how itll be the rest of the time we're with this group so I'll just see how it goes! its tricky cuz currently LO still takes 2-3 naps a day and eats soooo much. so who knows!
