I have an 18 mth old little girl who loves other little ppl. Unfortunately, in our neighborhood there aren't any other kids her age, they're all school aged kids. I recently joined a Mom's club which isn't going too well. Most of the kids are older (3-4 yrs old) or newborns, in addition to her getting bothered by a big boy bully who jammed his toy in her eye. She's a sweet, quiet, active girl who loves to play with others. A good friend of her's who was 4 days younger than her moved to NC. They were on the same level with everything (eating, learning, playing, talking, etc.). So I would like for her to play with someone close to her age. When she plays with older kids, she tends to either get trampled or can't keep up.

What can I do next?

J.,

Check into some places where the activities are age grouped. For example, here in Richmond, we have Romp-N-Roll or Little Gym classes. See if you can get her into a class like that (also gymnastics, dance, etc) where there are other little girls her age. That way, you can meet the girls and their moms.

Another idea that I have is to check out and see if there is a Mommies Group in your area that has a wide range of mom's with different aged children. Just google "Moms Groups in Centreville" and see if you come up with anything.

Good Luck!

Hello there. I am not sure how far Centreville is from us but we'd love to get together. We live in Catonsville and don't mind meeting somewhere depending on how far. I'll have to research it but let me know what you think. My name is J. also and Ashley is now 19 months. We look forward to hearing back from you. Have a great day.

J. and Ashley

Okay I checked into the distance. You are about an hr away. I do not mind meeting you in say, Annapoilis or somewhere around there. Let me know what you think.

Hi J.,
I have an 18m. old daughter. we live in milford, not sure how far that is from you. She is very funny and outgoing and loves other kids. She plays well, a little give, alittle take. The usual for a kid that age haha. Maybe if its not too far from you we could meet up somewhere, a Mc Donalds playland or something, and see if the girls would have fun together. It would be great if they made friends. I am 35 with Hailey being our first baby. We also love food, sports and I work, very part time, as well.

Hi J.,
My little guy is 11 months old and also loves to be around little people. We are in Easton which is fairly close by. I do work full time so joining playgroups, etc. is a challenge for us. We have lived on the Eastern shore for just over two years now. Have you checked into activities at the library? In Easton, they have story time on Tuesdays for children under 2. I have attended once and the kids had a blast. They sing, do crafts and of course read books. There is no cost. Another idea is going to Kindermusik at the Academy Art Museum. They have classes for all ages. I took Jonah when he was a couple of months old for a "summer camp" and found it to be a lot of fun for both of us. Not sure of the cost.

Hi I happened upon your post from way back in spring I just joined here today. I have a little girl and we are out a ways past you in Goochland. Actually Shannon Hill to be specific. But I am really wishing my daughter had a playmate out this way. She's just over 2.5 but is kinda small for her age. If you'd like to get together sometime let me know.
