After the rainy and cold days, we woke up today to beautiful sunny weather. I drank my morning coffee and went out on the balcony to smoke a cigarette while wishing the Noisers a good morning. Every day starts like this, coffee, cigarettes, noise.cash. This is my routine in the morning.
While I was on the balcony the bell rang. I knew my mother-in-law was ringing because others rarely come to us. Honestly, I don’t like unexpected visits. My hair is still tousled, the bedding is not straightened yet, etc. Anyway, I no longer had time to receive the guest properly. My mother-in-law came from the market, brought us fruit. She always pays a lot of attention to what I tell her, she bought us the kind of apple that I told her was very delicious. Then he told us that he saw on the internet that today in one of the nearby villages there are programs for children. I had no plans for today, but if I had, it wouldn’t have been better. We started getting dressed quickly, but I wanted Bence to eat something before we left. But Bence wasn't in a very good mood, he didn't want to eat, he didn't want to get dressed. I started thinking about whether it was definitely a good idea to start like this. But in the end we set off.
When we arrived at the venue of the event we saw that there were many there and the atmosphere was good.
Anyway, this village is a rich village with beautiful lakes and parks, flowers. In the past, the village was part of our city, a kind of suburb, but then they became an independent settlement.
There is a patisserie next to the lake, and this patisserie organized this program today. This is how they wanted to promote their business after reopening. And it was a great idea. For example, I didn’t even know about the existence of this patisserie until now. The terrace has nice furniture, a small playground for children, a swing, toys, a sandpit. The cakes and ice creams are delicious. I ate cherry-poppy ice cream, it tasted great.
When three of us (Bence, my mother-in-law, and I) go somewhere like this, I’m mostly just an attendant and a bag carrier. My mother-in-law is passionate about Bence and vice versa. Therefore, I prefer to stay in the background and let them have fun together. And I also feel good at times like this because I like to watch them when they play and laugh freely. And I feel lucky that Bence has such a grandmother.
Bence was happily playing in the small playground when Mickey and Minnie Mouse came out of the building. Very soon there was a huge crowd around them. Everyone wanted a photo together and the kids were very happy.
Luckily, Bence isn’t impatient in situations like this, so we waited until there were a little fewer people around them. Bence didn't really want to pose, but rather waved fiercely, spoke to them, or just stared at them with his mouth open.
Before we left for home, we went to the bouncy castle. Fortunately, there were far fewer people waiting in line than when we arrived.
The children were admitted to the bouncy castle in age groups. Bence went in with the little kids and really enjoyed it. There were mesh sections on the sides of the bouncy castle where parents could look inside.
When the paid time had expired, the ticket lady told the children to come out of the bouncy castle. We also told Bence through the net to come out but he didn’t care. Meanwhile, the older kids had already entered, the next turn had begun, but Bence was still inside. So we paid the price of the bounce again and hoped the older kids would treat my little 2.5 year old Bence carefully. This turn was over, the kids came out of the bouncy castle, but Bence was still inside. We had to go in to get him out of there. Of course, he wasn't happy about that, but luckily he soon stopped crying.
We all really enjoyed today. It was good to be in the fresh air and see how much Bence enjoys the programs.
Sometimes it's not easy with Bence. Many times he is intentional, hysterical, not dealing with other children. Her social development is not normal, she is a little behind other children in other things as well. That’s why we go with him every week for development, but he definitely needs the company of the kids as well.
Therefore, when I see Bence playing with the other kids and happy, I am also very happy. That made today really amazing.
It's not easy being a mom, it's something you learn day by day. No one can tell if you are doing it good or bad, cos no one can give you lessons on growing children... But I've always thought that it's a mutual growing, a common path. He grows and learn and you grow with him. Love you ❤
