Playdate politics...

Calanit had a friend over today. They were getting along very well.

The challenge: how to handle Erez?

On the one hand, he felt very excluded. He wanted to be involved in their games and they, of course, weren't so keen on it. I didn't want to give the message that it was ok to say "Erez, get away!"

On the other hand, I wanted Calanit to have a good time with her friend, at her level. With Erez involved, that wasn't going to happen.

I felt really bad for him. I took him downstairs to try and read/play with him, but all he wanted to do (he heard the girls running) was participate.

Eventually, it was resolved b/c he took a nap.
