Hey Jen, I have been taking Charlie to playgroup, story time at the Library & a music thing for a while now. At playgroup he tends to go off on his own as a lot of the kids are older or really small....he just potters around with all the toys we dont have at home. I love taking him, gets us both out of the house & he has a good sleep when we get home. I just stop him if it looks like he is going to upset another baby & if he does I apologise to the Mum. I would take them at any age.
