The play room was a unexpected surprise when we arrived at the building. The first picture is Abby cleaning the apartment in preparation for a friend coming over. We all pitched in, but she made for a cute picture. She met the girl in the play room and they became fast friends. Same age and she lives directly under us.
When you enter the building you turn right and go past the police desk and down the stairs.
One side of the room is lare and empty perfect for riding bikes or scooters. There is a couch and a TV. It is the coolest room in the building and was a great escape from the hot apartment during those last days of summer.
The other side of the room is full of toys for kids of all ages. Lilly especially likes the riding toys although she cannot move her feet to push the toys around yet.
This has been a great place to meet other children and parents in the building. Most of the families we have discovered have very young children, but there are a few school agers. There is lots of diversity and we have only met a few other families from the United States. Our next door neighbors are from California and have a daughter a few months younger than Lilly. It has been interesting to learn about these other countries and to hear so many different languages spoken. Abby's new friend is from England. Our community assistant is from Argentina and another family with older children is from Iceland.
