Sunday we had a TeddyBear picnic in the park for Sunday School kick off. Even the rain that started shortly after we got there didn't stop us from having fun. Grace really enjoyed the relay races that were played, but Jasmin was content to just watch the loud, somewhat chaotic fun at first!
Monday I went shopping for some bookshelves to aid organization of our jumbled toy cupboard. Fairly typically, I came home with a few other things... REALLY cheap sweet outfits for the girls and a bouncy ball that lights up. Interestingly, Jasmin is very taken by it - even taking it to bed every night!
This week we have discovered a daily hour of "kid paradise." Now schools are all back in session, our building is teeming with kids. There seems to be an unspoken appointment to meet on the playground/play area around 4pm every day. It is an amazing time of free play for Asia, where kids are all too often kept on a tight leash. Grace is thriving - when we go down, I hardly see her for the whole hour. Jasmin takes a bit longer to find a friend to play with, and often plays by herself, but seems to be enjoying herself just as much. Mommy is a bit like Jasmin and is taking it slower in connecting with the other moms and nannies - but she enjoys the time outside and the time undisturbed to crochet!
