that's great about the playdate. i'm sorry he was so upset in the MOPS nursery. TBH, this is kind of a weird age.
it is hard b/c it is only 1-2 month so every time it is kind of a new thing and he is not used to being dropped off. much easier to transition as i mentioned earlier about the gym (leaving for short periods of time everyday). that was the first time i left Ds w/ a bunch of strangers so a little unnerving.
i just love the MOPS meeting so couldn't imagine missing one! our MOPS is broken up into small groups and then our group tries to get together during the month for mom's nights out or playdates.
