Strategy Planning

From past two days myself and mother of A's friend have become strategy planners- planning for bringing some definite structure for their play time.
Though the structure remains manageable when it comprises of only two of them: A and A.

But it seems to be going haywire when one more companion peeps into the picture: J.

At this point we feel that we are ruthless against own children but I think it's also necessary that we discipline them at the right time.

Now, my day passes by planning something for her; leaving no time for myself but I know what's of utmost priority at present.

Their companionship reminds me of "Two is company; three is crowd".

Peers

A slight feeling of jealousy passes through my heart everyday when I see Anvitha going away with her friends to play.
Complete freedom filled with innocence. Our complete corridor reverberates of their laughter, calling each other and to end it all- a fight.
Cycling, visiting each others' house, role playing... her whole evening is engaged in these activities.

She has grown to be the leader of her group now where she commands and others follow.
She can even start a conversation with adults if is unable to find her agemates.
It is good to see her having company all through the evening. It's given me some free time too:)
