I have been meeting so many awesome parents lately, so lucky, amazing that I recently discovered tons of meetup groups with my last baby. Many moms with their first baby yearn for married friends with children and a community. I was very blessed that thanks to my husband I married a community, so with my first I had a lot of support, and many of the wives of my husband's good friends were also just starting to have children, so it was wonderful. When I had my second baby, I was in a whirlwind of kids 18 months apart, and working, so felt too busy to socialize and meet other parents. Then I found Herbalife and part of my job was to socialize, meet people, invite them to our workouts and events. So I started joining groups of moms where I can meet people that I can connect to and enjoy myself with the kids. It is amazing to me that some of these moms were new in town, or were the only married with children in their group of friends, and started utilizing these groups with their first baby. It is amazing, yesterday we went to a private home, there were about ten kids, the mom went all out with all kind of water play, a slide, a few pools, and then was making water balloons. We were planning to stay there all day, but my daughter acted out, and Thank God the other little girl is OK, we went home, I really wanted her to understand it was not OK and feel a consequence. We teach them to use their words, to go get their mom or another mom or a teacher, but in my experience three years old is way tougher than two, but with everything, whatever is the challenge passes, and the next one begins - JOY!
Today a good friend joined me, his boy is out of camp, so he is in Daddy Camp, so we went together to one of these groups in Downtown Los Angeles at Grand Park, it was AMAZING. First of all we took the metro train which is fun in itself for the kids. There was a huge splash pad there with an amazing fountain behind it, even the walls around had water dripping, this was my babies first time and he had a blast. Yesterday was his first time in a kiddie pool, he got in and out by himself, had a good time. My friend got along great with all the moms, it was very clean and not too busy, perfect weather as well.
We all just had pizza, and now everyone is getting ready for Shabbat, baby is fast asleep after a full day in the water and sun. Little feel of our day today, can't figure out how to flip the video, enjoy the view :)
Good Times,
Shabbat Shalom,
