At the moment I have a similarly-aged foster child so they play well together, but he'll be moving on soon and I won't have any more children similar in age to my son, so he'll be an only child to all intents and purposes.Rebecca Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03323122949121536943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3031616750644178863.post-65881691696454083372013-03-30T20:19:54.332+00:002013-03-30T20:19:54.332+00:00Thanks for hosting WASO - such great idea :) I l...Thanks for hosting WASO - such great idea :) I love blogging to a theme!Rebecca Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03323122949121536943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3031616750644178863.post-66841849529814763962013-03-30T20:19:16.049+00:002013-03-30T20:19:16.049+00:00I must admit I cheat by encouraging loads of playd...I must admit I cheat by encouraging loads of playdates, and making full use of grandparents when they are able to visit - I find other adults are so much more enthusiastic about play than I am!

In the end a therapist helped me to see the light and ordered me to be a slummy mum, cook baked beans more often and just spend time. Despite my anger at his advice, I have to admit it worked.<br />This is a lovely post. Thank you for writing it.Sallyhttp://www.sallydonovan.netnoreply@blogger.com
