MOPS

I went to my first MOPS meeting this morning. I was nervous going in, but Hannah was really excited. No problems at all dropping her off. And that was the first thing...the care for the kids was done by age, so Hannah was in with the three year olds. That was nice. And it was structured...they did crafts and stuff. She loved it. In fact, she was upset when I came to pick her up.

After I dropped her off, I followed the signs to the meeting. I went in and registered. One of the girls saw that I was new and took it upon herself to introduce me around. She also made sure that I knew where my table assignment was and made sure I was settled in okay. Soon, another table member arrived and she told me that I looked familiar. I told her that she did too. She asked if I had been at the MOMS meeting last month and I told her yes. As soon as she said that, I recognized her.

Everyone was absolutely wonderful and easy to talk to. Unfortunately, we had to leave the meeting early because the kids had early release and I had to pick Daniel up at 10:30 but the craft looked like it would have been a lot of fun. :( Walking out, I said goodbye to another table mate, who's also one of the coordinators, and she actually came over and gave me a hug. She said that she looked forward to seeing me at the next meeting and I was on my way.

I'm still going to do the MOMS club thing but I really think that my close contacts are going to come from this group. Everyone was so friendly and I'm really looking forward to going back.
