Good stuff Newman! WBW, no need to praise her for doing things with the kids. For DD he should announce what he's doing and let her ask to come, which is different from inviting her.

I.e. I'm going down to the corner to get a cup of coffee.

She can ask to join and that's fine. If she doesn't, that's fine too and there was no declined offer.
