10/9/21 Key pandemic skill: fort-building. Also: playing together and entertaining themselves. Pre-pandemic we were well into the playdate stage with our older kiddo (now 9); not quite there yet with our younger one (now 6). In the past year and a half we've done playground meet-ups, back-yard get-togethers, playdates at the community pool, etc. -- but the kids have still had to spend lots of time entertaining themselves and each other, especially since we don't allow much TV/screens. They've gotten pretty good at it.
