<p>Re post 8 and the 10 simples rules. I kinda feel like #5 "If you make her cry, I will make you cry. " D2 has been crying a bit lately. </p>
<p>We also have been lucky. Most of the boys D1 dated she was friendly with first. So by the time they were texting from the car, we were OK with that. But in all honesty, they usually came in. I often plied them with food/treats. I usually kept some good sweet tea in the house, and maybe some cookies. So I made it worth their while. </p>
<p>D2 was a little more hesitant to bring a new boy in. They were usually just friends first as well. Funny, she would be one to text him to see if he was close, and he would irritate her by coming in to chat and have some sweet tea or whatnot. I always liked the ones who were new, walked right up and shook hands and introduced themselves, before going into the family room for a game of Wii.</p>
<p>We put an addition on to our home when the kids were babies. It included a second family room. Best room we ever added. It became the room where friends came to hang out in. And when they were old enough to have boys coming over, often in a group, the Wii was the next best addition. Now it is Guitar Hero (with the whole band set-up where they can all take turns.) Keeps them occupied, having fun, and at our house!.</p>
