I think its great that you are getting him involved with other kids his age instead of just adults. As to your comments about the martini bar....a brand new discovery-birthday parties at Medieval Times. Its this stadium style restaurant where knights actually battle on horses and with swords. SO much fun for kids, and there is a bar so that parents don't lose their mind. Fun for all! Sounds like Zubin is a little squirt, so his playgroup is great. Another group in NYC is the New York Kids Club which you might want to check out. It has activities for kids 6 months to 12 yrs old like cooking/music making/rock climbing/martial arts/gym time....too many to list them all. There are 4 locations so it makes it easier for parents to get there. They might not call it "assimilation" but effectively, isn't that a given in group situations? I recently started working with them so feel free to ask me any questions or check it out at http://www.nykidsclub.com. Keep up the dual assimilation with little Zubin, sounds like he is quite the polite little gentleman! Looking forward to separation.... Sounds like Zubin is quite the little assimilator!

Another boring Park Slope parenting bash. You think the NYC could find a more creative angle to pursue. Yawn. Another boring Park Slope parenting bash.

I remember once my nephew (age 3) needed to go the bathroom, so my sister asked me to take him, probably not thinking about the fact that at the time I had absolutely no experience with kids, let alone any idea of how to assist a three-year-old in going #2. Anyway, everything turned out okay. We got into the bathroom stall, and my little nephew gave me step-by-step instructions on what to do. If I remember right, he even told me when to lift him onto the toilet and when to flush. Hey, we got the job done! That’s hilarious.
