Missy, I know that "church" can be a sensitive subject to some, and I don't know what your religious affiliation is, but Tyler might benefit from a Mother's Morning Out program, sponsered by a church, which would provide him with immediate socialization and "friends" to play with. Most that I am familiar with are available 3 days a week, for about 3 hours.

It would give you a little break to run errands or just rest, and he would be in a supervised, loving environment.

I was never able to utilize a MMO program because Helen was in daycare all day, since I worked fulltime, but right now, my parents keep my 9 month old nephew, every day, and he is going to start going, 3 mornings each week, to allow them to do other things, and provide him with the opportunity to play and interact with other children, his age.

With best intentions,
Logan
