Another Playgroup

Anna & I checked out another playgroup this morning. I met a nice mom from New Zealand with daughter named Ava who is one week younger than Anna. Hopefully we'll run into them again next week, too, but I gave her my number because she seemed nice and so did Ava.

The playgroup was held in one of the compounds' clubhouses. You pay 10 Riyals and you get a tea or coffee (I opted for a bottled water) and then you can also buy snacks. There is a guy there (a "bartender" if you will) to serve drinks and snacks. The place ended up being really packed with people and I don't know how much fun that really is. Mondays is for under 2s and Wednesdays is for over 2s.

We will probably go again next week to see if it's really that busy again and then we'll also check out the Wednesday group since Anna is on the cusp anyway. There were a lot of ride-on toys (and a good variety of other toys, too) but there was barely any room to ride the toys because of all the kids & moms and toys. In general, I'm looking for something a bit smaller and may end up posting an ad in the mom's newsletter to see if anyone is interested in setting up a smaller and more personal playgroup. But, this will be a good way to meet a variety of other moms anyway.

About every ten minutes Anna would look for me (I stayed in the same spot so she could find me right away) and say "go home again" but I didn't give in for an hour. I held her on my lap and gave her hugs and then she went off to play again for another ten minutes each time so I think she was just a bit overwhelmed by everything and everyone.
