Day 27 – Boys ONLY

Poor Isaac is always surrounded by girls.  His older sister usually directs play time and that means he plays dress up, watches Tinkerbell, gets his fingernail (yes I only allow one) painted and reads Pinkalicious.  He likes boy things too and makes time for them but it is usually on his own.  I usually don’t mind him playing with the girls things since he has a healthy addiction to everything cars and trains too but sometimes I just feel like he needs another boy to play with.

My friend who also has a boy sandwiched between two girls was also concerned so we decided to start swapping kids once in a while to let the boys play together without the influence of their older sisters.  I had the boys first today and the girls went to my friends house.  I invited over another little boy the same age too who lives nearby and it was so much fun!

I got out all the boy toys only.

Trains!

Light Sabers!

Guns! (This was at the beginning, Isaac was in nothing but undies by the end)

Cars!

The car track was not really what I wanted to do.  I found this great idea for matchbox cars on pinterest

But I didn’t have any masking tape and duct tape can leave a residue so I didn’t want to get it on the furniture.  Next time however, there is going to be an awesome track and lots of little cars! It was pretty much the easiest play date ever.  I was expecting rowdy boys but they were so quiet playing away.  Ahnna had fun with her friend and made friendship bracelets and rings and cookies.  Now amazingly enough all three kids are sleeping away.  What a great morning!
