One of my best friends' mother asked me to "babysit" her daughter (my friend's sister), but since she's in 7th grade and i'm in 9th (this fall), it wouldn't really be like babysitting...as much as just hanging out because we're so close in age. Shes coming over here, I think, because her brother will be home (my friend) at their house, and it would be weird. She wants to let her daughter out of the house for awhile, I guess, because she and her brother don't get along too well when theyre home alone together. So she's coming over around 1-2ish until 8.
Aaaaaanyways..............to my question. What are some good things to do with a girl that age? Last time we just played cards and watched TV. but we were at her house - I don't really know how to be a good...."hostess" I guess.
We have a pool, a friendly neighborhood to walk, and my mom might take us with her shopping - but other than that, what is there to do?

So if you have magazines like CosmoGirl and Seventeen, read those together because they have a lot of stuff about boys. Let her go on the computer. Give each other makeovers. Paint each others nails. Listen to music. Go through your yearbooks together. Pointing out people and telling weird stories about them is really fun =]. [ Erinn_the_bamf's advice column | Ask Erinn_the_bamf A Question ]

Find out from her though which she would like to do and give her options, anything else write back =] [ babyitsyouxo's advice column | Ask babyitsyouxo A Question ]
