Playdates for Alyssa

 Last fall I contacted a few friends that also have girls Alyssa's age, to see if they wanted to get the girls together to play.  For most of the school year, they got together about once a week to play and often had an organized activity.  One day the girls came to our house and were excited to get to paint.  It has been so fun for Alyssa to play with all these girls. 

She really enjoys art projects.  After the other girls left she gathered up all of their paint and continued painting on her own for a while.
