Hello,
I am looking for a playgroup for my son to join. He will be 2 yrs. old this November. I really think it is important for him to socialize with other children. I don't want him to have a hard time adjusting when he finally goes to preschool and is around others. I already see that he is becoming very clingy with me. Does anyone know of any clubs or playgroups that would could join?
Congrats new mommie! Having children is the most wonderful experience. I am sorry to hear about your father. As for the play groups, have you looked into your local park district? I live in Oak Forest and I have my children enrolled in several classes at our park. I have met several great moms and have play dates outside of thier classes. It is good for both mommie and baby to get out and socialize. Good luck!

I belong to the Downers Grove Moms meetup group through meetup.com. There are over 90 moms from Downers Grove and the neighboring communities and we have various activities going on at any point in time, including (but not limited to) zoo trips, stroller walks and playgroups at members' homes. My 19 month-old son and I just joined a couple of months ago and have already been to over a dozen events and have met some really nice people. On our "about" page page it reads: "Moms and their newborns/infants/toddlers living in the Downers Grove area meet for conversation, a little adventure and play. Meeting sites can range from public places (coffee houses, parks, malls) to member homes". The group is free to join and its a great way for you to meet other moms and for your child to have the opportunity to interact with other kids. If you're intersted in joining, go to meetup.com, register and then look for the Downers Grove Moms group. You can search by city or interest. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me. We would love to have you!
Hi. My husband, 21 month-old son and I will be moving to Elmhurst as soon as we sell our house in Chicago (Roscoe Village). I will also be looking to get some playdates for my son and meet new moms.

Hi K. -- I'm S. and also have a 2 yr old son named Roland. I live in Lisle, a little west of Oak Brook. My husband and I moved from NYC 9 years ago and yes, getting used to suburbs after city life takes time.
I'm having some issues with Roland socializing him too and large playgroups are not a good fit for him -- he gets too excited. Let me know if still interested and what your schedule is like.
S.
