Organising a playgroup at your home

The Hubs has a mini heart attack every time I tell him that we are having a playgroup at home. This is because he is an anally retentive clean and neat freak. He faints at every stain on the couch and needs an ambulance the moment anything is out of place. He can spot a cookie crumb twenty feet away, starts hyperventilating and any noise more than a few decibels drowns his serene jungle tunes and this sends his blood pressure up. I’m surprised he has managed to live this far with a little monkey who has really turned our home upside down from where it was before we had kids.

If you’re ever planning a playgroup at home, make sure you can handle that many kids. For me, the smaller the better and the kids can get some quality play out of it. Always ask your little one(s) which toy they want to put away as there are some toys they just do not want to share with anyone and that is their right. Of course, sharing is encouraged but some personalities just don’t like sharing.

It is also good if you could help your little one plan an agenda for the day so that there is some structure to the playgroup. If there isn’t, that is fine but it is more valuable, I find, when it is planned. Somehow, a lot more gets done.

Here is one of Tee’s playgroups that began at 2pm and finally ended at 8pm when the girls had all bathed together and were changed into their jammies.

See, if the Hubs saw these girls on his couch, he would hyperventilate.

playgroup-6

And then when he sees them bouncing off the edge, using it like a diving board, he would freak and turn green.

playgroup-5

Posing is fun and fine……

playgroup-4

Making funny faces is certainly acceptable……

playgroup-2

And sitting down quietly chatting like young adults is what he likes best!

If only we could replay on video what HE used to do as a child!!!
