I know everyone's heard it before... But the one thing that I'm glad we did at for Kaiti was get involved in Girl Scouts. She was able to get the socialization she needed with kids her own age and it really helped a lot with getting her out from under my wing.
Because I stepped up and became a leader, I think it was easier for her. I was still there, I was still available.. But she was able to branch out a bit while still feeling safe with mom.
Now, I'm not saying go start your own troop... although if you got in with the right co-leader, you'd have a BLAST, and so would the girls. But Molly is almost Daisy age (the lowest level of GS) and it would be a way for her to be social, do things she likes to do, and still allow you to be there and be doing things with her.
Take it from me, parents who are involved in their troop and willing to help out and be there for the girls are few and far between.. They'd LOVE you :)
