Playdate at the mall

My moms' group had a lunch/magazine swap/playdate at the mall a few days ago, and Charlotte seemed to thoroughly enjoy it. She sat in her highchair during lunch at the foodcourt and was happy as a clam to eat puffs, throw puffs onto the floor, and trade puffs and toys back and forth with one of her buddies (an 11-month-old boy with whom she always has a great time). After lunch, we headed downstairs to the mall's indoor play area. Charlotte was so excited to be around all of the kids. It's neat to see her so interested in social activity. If we hadn't needed to leave so soon after we got there, I bet she would have played for quite a while.
