M and K are really rather different in their needs for company/alone time. M, although perfectly capable of and happy spending time on her own when she wants to, more often wants to be with and play with others. K is much more likely to want to spend time on her own, not necessarily physically but just doing her own thing and she is very good at tuning out what is going on around her. So two play dates in two days is great as far as M is concerned and K's happy with it too, as she still has plenty of time for herself should she feel the need.
Sunday afternoon a friend, I, from a couple of doors down came to play and then when we walked her home K & M stayed there for another hour as they hadn't finished! Today we met friends, S, A & J, from school (it gave them a bit longer together!) and went back to their house for play (or tea and chat for S & me) and tea, before Brownies.
This morning I reminded K & M about The Happy Scientist. You can watch some of the videos for free, but it's definitely worth the $20/year subscription to be able to watch them all, I think. We watched a few videos together, including one about attracting a woodpecker, one about friction (with an experiment with two books like the one we did), another about lighting a bulb with a balloon and two about light, which K wants to follow up but we need to get some polarised sunglasses first in order to do so.
