I love Fridays. No longer because it is the end of the work week but because I get to take Owen to baby playgroup. Most of the kiddos in there are around the 2 year mark but that doesn't stop Owen from having fun. One he gets to play with new toys and lots of them. We have not bought a lot of toys here for the shear fact that you need to take out a loan to buy them. Okay not that bad but they are still much pricier than in the US. For example, we bought a bag of 100 play balls for Owen. In the US it is $9.99 at Toys R Us here it cost 1300 rubles which is roughly $40. Don't worry Owen is not deprived on toys!
So on Friday we arrive at Mommy Renee's and sweet baby girl Arianna's (14 mths) house. She has toys that Owen is in love with. He played with basketball hoop set to make his daddy proud. Then he moved onto the tunnel and tent set. He wouldn't get out of it. So I do believe this will be our next purchase. He loved a pull along Brio duck, and a Mickey Mouse that moves and dances. Mickey did attack him a bit so he is not so sure about him. Owen will play with some of the kids and then just does his own thing too. He is such a good boy. Of course while we are there he is the only kid that decides to venture to an outlet instead of the mass amount of toys nearby. Hmmpfh boys!!!
I love baby playgroup too. There are a great group of women there. It is nice to talk to them each week and get ideas and advice on raising your baby in a foreign country. Some of their kiddos are getting older. I will hate to see them go when it is time for them to go to school. Maybe we can convince them to have more :)
