Making friends

Mike, Amelia and I went out to dinner last night at a new (or at least, "under new management") Chinese restaurant. Across the nearly empty dining room sat a baby girl, who had to be very close in age to Amelia. The two girls enjoyed waving at one another; and Amelia, as always, was practically turned around 180 degrees in her seat so she could get a good view of the baby.

Well, the other baby's parents finished their meal and had the nerve to walk out the door with their daughter. This made Amelia very sad - she was so disappointed that her new friend was leaving she fussed and whimpered. It was funny to watch.

I have no idea how to set up a "play group." It's one of those things that everyone seems to be doing, but I don't know how to start / join / participate in one. I think Amelia's at that age when she wants to hang out with other babies. Maybe I can find something through IU...
