Anna & I went to one of the playgroups today (Itsy Bitsy Toddlers: ages 18-months and up). There were five or six other moms ("mums") there and we all had daughters. I think Anna was the youngest, but the next youngest was just two months oder than her; the oldest was 2.5 years. Anna had fun and got to practice walking up and down stairs a lot which was great (I'm too chicken to let her do this on her own at home yet (all the tile terrifies me) but we're working on it since she can actually reach the railing at our villa and she couldn't in Texas).
They seemed like a nice bunch (all from Australia, New Zealand, or England—I must learn to say, "Aussies, Kiwis, and Brits") but it was hard talking to them because we met at a park and I had to keep an eye on Anna a bit because at first one of the local kids was trying to get Anna to "play" with her and then I just wanted to make sure Anna wasn't going to walk off one of the gaping sides of the play structure! We'll try to go again a few more times for sure.
