Spot my monkey in this pic!
It was rather quiet and only a handful of children there playing. My little one was away within a second of walking through the door and always truly enjoys him little self here. He seems to befriend another kid within 5 minutes and today was no different. He befriended a little girl about the same age as him and they chased, laughed and bounced together the whole time. Wouldn't it be good if we could make friends as quick as children seem to.
So with the 11 month old happy sitting in her Bugaboo watching the other children play I sat back and relaxed myself.
I treated myself to a lovely Muggacino!
Why not hey, whilst having 5 mins time out!
Bad I know, but the muggacino didn't look right on its own!
It was nice chilling out for around half an hour or so whilst I devoured my scone, with the help of my 11 month old mind, and checked out what was happening in the world of Twitter and Facebook.
That was until, a toddler decided that he liked the look of one of my baby's toys and came over for a closer look! I didn't mind of course, but he was a little forward! Came right over, picked it up and then ran off with it! Don't get me wrong I know babies, and someone elses toys always look better than theirs, but as a parent I found it funny that his parents weren't even a little bit phased by it!
Maybe its just me, I used to have a thing about other kids germs when my 4 year old was a baby, but I'm a little more relaxed this time around. Until yesterday that was! I don't like to comment on others, but they weren't very well dressed and the kids had runny noses and not so clean clothes on.
This kids dad finally decides to run after him and then asks around the whole centre who's this toy is that his little thief had stolen from. Don't get me wrong it wasn't about the toy! So, as you do, I put it under the pram as I didn't want my baby to touch it again until I'd cleaned it, but I couldn't really do that in front of this little guys parents.
Another half hour passes of bliss until again! The same feral kid comes back to our pram, puts his hand under it and reaches around in the bottom until he reaches the same toy he'd stole earlier!! This time I was a little annoyed as his parents were watching him and didn't seem to mind!!!
I don't know maybe its just me, but would you let your child go over to someone elses pram and reach in the bottom of it at his pleasure and take other kids toys.
The mother then says as they leave later "you won't bring that toy in here again, will you?".
