In Kuwait, there is an online mom's group for expats. I joined while I was pregnant with Nory but I admit that I haven't been too involved until this past week. I mean, I browse the forums to see what's up but I haven't actively reached out to other moms. Until last week! And VOILA! Nory had her first play date this past weekend.
This seven month old beauty is Amirah. Her mother is from El Salvador and her father is Lebanese and the family just moved here a couple of months ago. It seems the adjustment - both culturally and new-mom-ly - has been a difficult one for Amirah's mama, so I wrote her a message to see if she wanted to meet up. HOORAY, SHE DID!
On Saturday morning, our little family of three met their little family of three and we connected in a way that only brand-spanking-new parents can! It was fantastic. We related on so many levels......The lack of sleep. The non-stop judging. The worrying. The cluelessness. It was wonderful to laugh away our stress and be reminded that we're not the only ones navigating this parenting thing. The girls were quite adorable to watch also. So curious about each other. I could tell they were both thinking, "WOW! Someone else MY SIZE!" Seems as though all acquainting members found someone they could relate to during our date.
Nory will be playing with Amirah again this Wednesday afternoon. And GUESS WHAT?! Remember Tallulah from two hospital visits ago? Well, we are meeting with that sweet girl on Saturday morning.
Talk about a busy social schedule. And you likely won't believe me, but Phil is the ringleader in this event planning!
How things have changed.
