Play date!

I've been thinking about trying to set up play dates for Turing so he can get some interaction with kids besides staring at them on the playground. And I'd get some interaction with other adults on the days I have him for many hours. Unfortunately, I couldn't think of anyone I know with a kid of a comparable age who I would like to hang out with who doesn't live in Milwaukee.

Then, yesterday, I saw this woman at the coffee shop who I've spoken with a number of times when we just randomly pass each other. We ended up having a long chat about babies in grad school and spacing babies and writing dissertations. It was great! She has a kid just a few months younger than Turing, so I asked her out on a playdate and she accepted! woo! Added bonus: she's a grad student juggling babycare with her partner, so we can totally hang out during the week.
