Seems like it has been ages since we got back from our year end trip but it has only been a mere 2 weeks! I truly need a break from Jakarta again, but for now playgroups have been keeping me sane.
I can possibly say this a million times but our playgroup routine is definitely a life saver. Meeting other mothers and children, chatting over coffee and cake is a rather relaxing and educational experience for us both. Strangely enough P is very much well behaved whenever we are at playgroups; no screaming fits, no unneccesary crying, no fussiness and when we get home he takes a 2-3 hours nap which is a dream!
Now that I have become much more familiar with the playgroup mums, I have organized for more playgroup sessions and activities with them. Lil P has a bursting activities calendar. 3 days a week at different playgroups, once a week at Kindyroo, once a week swimming (more like water familiarization) and we are now organizing Kindermusik too. His activities pretty much takes up the entire week which means my worry of being confined to malls is gone!
Win-win situation since P enjoys himself immensely at these activities and Mummy gets to have grown up conversations too.
Ah....the life of a so-called expat SAHM.
