Playdate with Internet Pals

Published on July 13, 2007 By Texas Wahine In Blogging

One of my mommy friends that I met online lives not too far from where I am visiting family. She has a baby boy the same age as Izzy (ok, a couple weeks older), and we met up at a beautiful park on the lake to talk and let the kids play.

It is always nerve-wracking meeting someone IRL for the first time. You never know if you will get along with them the same way, and you never know if how they look in pictures is a good reflection of how they look in 3-D, moving and talking.

My friend Amanda is wonderful, though. Very smart and cool and a terrific mother. Her son Caleb has such a personality. He was really fun to be around. This was Izzy's first playdate and she had a great time stealing his toys. Ha!

She is starting to look so much like her daddy!

And that scratch on her head is from a mishap with grandma and grandpa's couch. She is pulling up, cruising on furniture, and standing alone (for very short periods of time). And she falls A LOT!

LW: LOL. Poor girl. She actually has more hair than the pictures imply, but it's still not much.

Thanks! She looks mad in a lot of the pics, but it was a long day. We had spent most of the day at the Health museum.

I think its great you met a new friend IRL. I love to hear these stories. The internet has really made the world a smaller place hasn't it?

I love that.

The pics are great. They are both so adorable. Caleb's eyes...wow!

Tova: I think that makes #3 for me. I am going to be meeting a JU tomorrow, too. Pretty cool.

Thanks. Caleb does have gorgeous eyes, doesn't he? He was really a sweet baby.

You could stay with me any time -- while it might be cramped in my one bedroom with the five of us --I don't doubt for a minute that it would be entertaining.

Maybe we could set a tent up on the terrace and the boys could go camping!
