April and I had been talking about bringing Dyn-dyn to Kidzoona for the past months or so. We had planned it to be last Thanksgiving weekend since I do not have a work schedule that day, yet, since there are tons of stuff that needs to be worked on we decided not to pursue the plan.
We are also having second thoughts on it, as Dyn-dyn isn't used to wearing a face mask, and each time that we will put one on her face she immediately gobbles it and tries to bite and taste the said product. Either it will be destroyed or it will be soaking wet with her saliva. Good thing that the restriction is not as tight as before. People can visit the mall without wearing a face mask.
Unplanned events are way better than planned as April's classmates, who are also moms, decided to have a mini-reunion to catch up with their lives. There are many chat exchanges that happened and from what was planned we will have a family lunch together to meet and greet.
When we arrived around 10:30 in the morning, since it is too early for lunch Kaye, April's classmate inquired inside the stall of Kidzoona and informed that our kiddos will play first and then after we will eat lunch.
A kid with a guardian will cost 200 PHP per hour ($4.00) and an extra adult is 100 PHP ($2.00) everyone is required to wear socks in the area and if someone forgot to bring one they are also selling a pair for 100 PHP ($2.00). Good thing, we brought one for Dyn-dyn as we plan to change her sandals into rubber shoes after a few hours but as you may have noticed her socks are in green and pink.
We tried to bring the kids together in one shot but everyone have their own agenda.
There are a lot of children everywhere running, jumping, and even playing with toys around. Since Dyn is the eldest among the three kids April and I was chasing her and making sure that she will not stumble with other kids playing.
After warming up, Dyn decided to ride a bike and walk along the race tracks.
She was fixated on the handle and checking on how everything worked and as for the cones, she tried pointing them asking if she can try to play with them as well.
We were running around the tracks while trying to avoid other kids that are riding their bicycles. When the place is quite cramped we tried other booths that are available in the area.
We, as we try to see what will our little one enjoy yes we also enjoy playing the games
Each time that we buy educational toys for Dyn-dyn most likely she's either going to throw them away or will try to eat them. Most of the toys that she enjoys are bottled water, empty cartons, keys, and even a soup ladle. Things that are not supposed to be used as toys 😀.
While she is playing we realized that the toys that our daughter enjoys are the ones that involve handwork. Everything that doesn't break and we are talking about her being left-handed as she uses her left hand most of the time.
Kaye received a notification from the staff that five minutes are left for us to enjoy after wrapping things up we left the place. No child cried while we are exiting the premise.
April and I talked about our future plans, and both agreed that it is quite beneficial to our kids to have some playtime outside our house.
