[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. We are in Montgomery County, there are definitely a ton of other APs. She's just not outgoing and hasn't taken initiative to set anything up with anyone else...and I honestly don't want to pay for additional activities like music or gym classes when we're already paying so damn much in childcare for two kids... particularly for an 8 month old when it doesn't matter. Her morning nap is at the same time as storytimes at the local libraries. On nicer days, she will take the baby out for a while in the stroller (we are in a very walkable neighborhood) and that's all well and good, it's just that it's January and nicer weather won't be here for a few more months.

We did driving lessons, we let her drive herself to the gym and out socially with friends, and she picks my daughter up from our neighborhood preschool some days, but not at all comfortable with my baby being in the car with her.

I do need to get better with drafting a weekly schedule with specific tasks. The language barrier is just so significant, it feels impossible to communicate sometimes.[/quote]

She can be dressed appropriately and sat in snow to play for 10-15 minutes several times per day.  She can walk to the playground (if a 5 minute walk) with the baby and talk to others for 5-10 minutes.  If she wears the baby under her coat and wears a scarf, she can leave the top portion unzipped for 30+ minutes and she and the baby will both be fine (baby will also be able to see more).[/quote]
