First playdate !

Yesterday was our first 2 hour play date with the little. A very exciting day and not knowing what to expect ...we had a great time. Our time is 10-12 ...just in time to give our little one his morning breakfast and playtime after.
Our day began by seeing the playroom ...where all the other 6-12 months play. There in the HUGE wooden play pen was our little one with a cup in hand beating the wooden slates to get out. He wanted out and wanted to play with us!!!!! All of the other children (4x) were happy to stay and watch us...but one little girl who just cried...cried...cried. I don't think she like us and change in the room.
Kazakhstan breakfast for our little: semolina cereal, puree fruit of some kind, chopped egg (not sure if it was just the whites or yolks) and fruit juice served in a porcelain mug.
Well our little one just started eating solid food....and I wasn't FAST enough for him..he ate it all up and loved drinking from his mug with help from me. This of course all takes place while sitting om my lap. Dave was in charge of cleaning off his face. Think it will be Dave turn next.
Playtime was next.....it was a nice day with a touch of wind so....we bundled up the little one with a hat to cover his ears put on another layer of long sleeve clothing to off the playground on campus. We all enjoyed the fresh air! The little one enjoyed playing with the silky scarf, Trot.Trot to Boston, and laughed alot when air was blown to his tummy.
As play time came to end...Dave and the little one snuggled in the chair...so peacefully.
What a GREAT morning!
Looking forward for the next one.
Alles gutes! All is well!

Hi there. Congrats on your pregnancy and your new addition! Lovely to follow along on your journey....also congrats on living on Nantucket - I lived in Boston for a year and spent a few weekends in Nantucket - heaven on earth (next to Ireland where I was born!!!)

Our son Orin was adopted from Karakastek BH in Almaty Region in 2006 - I have to tell you your BH looks like a luxury hotel compared to Karakastek!

Enjoy the journey over the next while.
