She was more itrested in playing on the swing set they had in their back yard (left from previous owners.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-are-invited-to-a-dinner-where-the-hosts-have-no-kids#post-1806109 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 13:29:56 +0000 lamariniere 1806109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have friends who are childless and the few times we've been to theirs for a meal, they have usually had something that DS would eat, although one time it was on the spicier side and he just had dessert. :silly: </p> <p>I let him bring a few small toys and I also take the iPad with films loaded. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-are-invited-to-a-dinner-where-the-hosts-have-no-kids#post-1806108 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 13:28:59 +0000 looch 1806108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bring all of my own everything, I do not understand the concept of packing light.</p> <p>Usually, I bring Color Wonder markers and stickers. I let my son pack a bag of things he wants to bring as well, that ownership helps him feel invested in going somewhere.</p> <p>Other ideas include those magnetic erase boards, magnetic story books, etc. I am a big fan of kits. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-are-invited-to-a-dinner-where-the-hosts-have-no-kids#post-1806107 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 13:28:52 +0000 autumnlove 1806107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Snacks, drinks, water magic painting books, books and some quiet toys! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-are-invited-to-a-dinner-where-the-hosts-have-no-kids#post-1806100 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 13:26:12 +0000 Freckles 1806100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What do you bring for your toddler-aged kids?</p> <p>Do you bring food/snacks?
