The Monkey has his very first playdate today. He is super excited, but being playdate newbies (despite The Monkey being 4 1/2 years old) neither The Scientist nor I has any idea what the playdate etiquette is. All of our other playdate experiences have been with friends where the purpose of the playdate was more to allow the parents to get together than to have the kids play - it was just a side benefit. Do we just drop him off? Do I stay over? I don't know the parents very well, although they seem nice. My social anxiety is going into overdrive for this. I know the solution is to just ASK but I'm hoping I can be a little subtle in the interaction.
