Took Indie to the local “playhouse” today, which is basically a council-owned house full of toys and a playground in the backyard, all for preschool-aged kids. INDIE LOVED IT. But her favourite part was the other kids!

She made instant BFFs with a 15-month-old girl who marched straight up to Indie to offer to share her toys, and enveloped her in a couple of huge hugs too 😆 Unfortunately, this girl also broke Indie’s heart by hitting her on the head repeatedly with some kind of doorknob on a stick (she was fast! I intervened as fast as I could)… but I calmed Indie down and she didn’t hold a grudge. The other kids there were all a bit older, so while Indie really did want to play with them, there was a bit of lack of shared understanding 😅 Anyway, I don’t think Indie wanted to come home, she was loving it so much.

@Miraz Yeah, it’s a nice little facility! And as for the kids… I guess this is how they learn to socialise 😅

Unfortunate post-script to Indie’s excursion to the local playhouse: she now has a cold. I think we’ve been pretty fortunate that she’s only ever had one cold up until now (and IIRC that was a milder one), because yeah… she’s quite miserable now 😢

@jayeless Oh no, poor kiddo! I hope she feels better soon (and you and Viv stay healthy).

@hollie Thanks! Viv and I are fine so far, but we can only hope that lasts!

@jayeless The playhouse sounds nice! Too bad Indie got a cold 😥 best wishes for her recovery

@val It was nice! And thanks, we hope she gets better soon too.
