Despite having an abundance of friends, Brooklyn was SOL today when trying to rope in a playmate. It did not help that every last sibling struck gold and was in their own little world with their very own friend. This only added salt to the wound.
There was weeping, there was wailing, there was gnashing of teeth.
What ever is a mom to do?
Not sure, but I'll tell you what NOT to do. Don't offer to be the friend she didn't have. Don't offer to play dolls with her, or doggies with her.
Don't tell her that you will be the momma dog and that your name will be Baxter and she can be the baby dog.
She will only howl louder and tell you all the reasons why that. won't. work!
including that you are too old and may get hurt.
You won't want to hear that.
You may, however, get lucky if you invite her on a mommy, daughter date to get the weekly groceries.

True / we get hurt easier when we are older. Just look at what happens to me everytime I through baseball with brandon :-)
She can come play with me, any time. She's so darn cute, who can resist that face.
