Girls' Play Group

Since Emma is such an out-going, friendly child, I think staying at home for school has been the very hardest on her.  Maddi and Spencer have always seemed content to just hang out with each other.  Emma, on the other hand, seems to always be the odd man out.  Much of the time it is of her own making; she resists their efforts to include her and often time causes contention for no good reason.  She just seems to prefer the company of those who aren't family, or immediate family anyway.  Consequently, I thought it would be a good idea to find a few little girls her age--those who had just missed the cut-off for going to kindergarten--and set up a weekly play time for her.  This has been a great idea!  And even though the group has now grown to include many younger girls, I think this play time has been a blessing for our little socialite.

Here are a few pictures of the girls in the play group having a mini picnic in Delys Tyler's backyard.
